We Don't Talk

We Don't Talk lyrics

Verse 1

You left me on read
I left you on purpose
That's the part I kept
That made it look surgical

My thumbs were clean
My heart was acting messy
I saw your name there
And I let it get away from me

I wrote, "you there?"
Then I ate that line
Sat in my notes app
Like a kid with a live wire

Funny how quiet
A phone can get
When the whole story
Lives in the unsent text

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now
What was that for?
A soft little crime
In a closed-up drawer

I almost hit send
Then I didn't
Now it's just me
And the draft I hid in

Chorus

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
What did I say?
What did I save it for?

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
Did it ever mean more
Or did it mean less?

Verse 2

Your last emoji
Was a tiny shrug
Like a man in a pool
With his shoes still on

I kept it civil
I kept it stupid
I typed three answers
Then I swallowed all of it

My friends said, "bro
just move on"
But the message I didn't send
Had a life of its own

It sat there blinking
Like a parking meter
Counting down
For a confession meter

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now
What was that for?
A soft little crime
In a closed-up drawer

I almost hit send
Then I didn't
Now it's just me
And the draft I hid in

Chorus

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
What did I say?
What did I save it for?

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
Did it ever mean more
Or did it mean less?

Bridge

I met your silence
At the corner of my screen
It said, "nice try"
Then it went back to sleep

My unsent message
Is still in my pocket
Like a tiny lost key
For a lock I forgot it

Chorus

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
What did I say?
What did I save it for?

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
Did it ever mean more
Or did it mean less?

We don't talk anymore
(we don't talk anymore)
I never sent it
So why does it feel sent?
