Letters You Never Read
Emotional Indie Pop
[Verse 1] Hey… I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, But writing to you feels safer than silence. You used to say my voice could calm your storms, Now I’m whispering to pages just to feel warm. I’m not asking for much, just a sign you’re okay, I still check my phone a hundred times a day. Anyway… I hope you’re good, I hope you’re sleeping, I’ll write again soon — these letters keep me breathing. [Chorus ] Still sending letters you’ll never read, Pouring out the things I’ll never speak. Every page feels heavier than the last, Like I’m chasing shadows from our past. [Verse 2] It’s been a while now… still nothing from you, I keep defending you with lies I know aren’t true. My friends say I should move on, but they don’t understand, You held my heart like no one else ever can. I saw your picture last night — laughing, carefree, Funny how you look alive while you’re ghosting me. I’m not angry, I swear… I just needed a reply, Just one line to remind me I’m not talking to the sky. I’m scared of what your silence means, but I’m scared of what mine does too. I drove past your street again, don’t ask me why, Guess I’m trying to find the version of us that didn’t die. I talk to the empty seat like you’re still there, Pretending you’re listening, pretending you care. [Chorus ] Still sending letters you’ll never read, Pouring out the things I’ll never speak. Every page feels heavier than the last, Like I’m chasing shadows from our past. [Verse 3] I don’t blame you for leaving — I know I’m intense, But silence from you feels like a life sentence. If this is goodbye, then at least let me know, ’Cause I can’t keep drowning in what you won’t show. Hey… it’s me again. I didn’t mean to call, I just… I don’t know. I miss who we were. I miss who I was when you were around. If you hear this… just say something. Anything. [Verse 4 — Reply Voice] Yo… I got your letters, every line that you wrote, I just didn’t know what to say, so I left ’em in my coat. Ain’t like I’m tryna ghost you or pretend you don’t exist, I’ve just been fighting with my head and I ain’t winning that shit. I saw the way you’re hurting, yeah, I read between the lines, Didn’t mean to leave you hanging while you’re checking all the time. I ain’t laughing in those pictures, that’s a mask that I wear, ’Cause it’s easier to smile than admit I wasn’t there. You drove past my street? Damn… I didn’t know it got that deep, Didn’t know you talk to empty seats like I’m still in the beat. I ain’t trying to be your sentence or the reason that you drown, I just needed space to breathe before I dragged you down. But listen — I’m here now, I ain’t running from the truth, I’m sorry that my silence made a weapon out of you. If goodbye’s what you need, I won’t stand in your way, But I swear I never meant to make you feel this way. [Optional Ending Line] Silence shouldn’t be the last thing we share.
