Left on Read

Verse 1

You said “forever” like it was easy to say

Now my phone stays quiet where your messages lay

I replay the moments, like a movie on loop

But every happy ending just feels like a spoof

You wore my trust like it was secondhand clothes

Then left me in the cold where nobody goes

I should’ve known better, I should’ve seen signs

But love makes a liar out of peace of mind

Pre-Chorus

And I’m staring at the ceiling again

Trying to pretend that we’re just friends

But I know that’s a story that won’t defend

What you broke in me in the end

Chorus

Now I’m left on read, but I still check your name

Like maybe you’ll fix what you chose to break

I gave you my heart, you gave it away

Now I’m learning how to say your name without pain

Yeah I’m left on read, but I won’t text first

Even if it hurts worse

I’ll survive the silence you made

I’m done being left on read

Verse 2

You moved on quick like I was nothing at all

While I’m picking pieces off the floor of the fall

Everybody told me you were never that real

But I learned the hard way how betrayal can feel

I don’t hate you, but I can’t pretend

That I’d ever trust you with my heart again

So I’m closing this chapter, no rewrite, no scene

Just me learning what “me” really means

Pre-Chorus

And I’m staring at the ceiling again

But I’m not going back where I’ve been

This time I’m choosing me in the end

Chorus

Now I’m left on read, but I still check your name

Like maybe you’ll fix what you chose to break

I gave you my heart, you gave it away

Now I’m learning how to say your name without pain

Yeah I’m left on read, but I won’t text first

Even if it hurts worse

I’ll survive the silence you made

I’m done being left on read

Bridge

No more waiting on a “hey” that won’t come

No more crying over things you’ve undone

If love is a lesson, I finally learned

Some bridges burn, and they’re meant to burn

Final Chorus

Now I’m left on read, but I found my way

Out of the chaos you made me stay

I gave you my heart, you gave it away

But I’m not the same as yesterday

Yeah I’m left on read, but I’m okay

I don’t need you to stay

I survived the silence you made

I’m done being left on read
