[Intro: Soft, filtered electric piano chords. A faint, rhythmic finger snap enters. ]

[Distant vocal ad-libs]: ("Yeah... check... it’s funny how it works, right?")

[Verse 1]

Three in the morning, and the blue light’s burning through my retina

Checking for a signal, but the screen is looking regular

I’m tracing back the threads, every word, every character

While you’re out there living life, no static in your atmosphere.

It’s crazy how I memorize the silence in between your lines

I’m building up these monuments to moments you left far behind

I’m paralyzed by "seen" stamps, staring at the gray checks

Wondering if you’re sleeping or you’re onto what the day brings next.

And every time I tell myself I’m deleting every trace of us

I find another reason why I’m stuck inside this radius

You got this gravity, it’s heavy and it’s effortless

While I’m just gasping for the air, looking for some leverage.

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m a ghost in your hallway, a shadow in your room

You don’t even see the storm, you don’t even see the gloom

I’m shouting at the ceiling, but it’s quiet where you stay

I just want to feel the weight of turning my head away.

[Chorus]

I’m tired of the waiting, tired of the vanity

Tired of this one-way road that’s stealing my sanity.

I’m looking in the glass, and I’m speaking it to me

I wish I had the power to ignore you Like you ignore me. Yeah, I wish I had the strength to just walk past the door

To keep my phone face down and not look for you no more

I wish I had the power to ignore you Like you ignore me.

[Verse 2]

I saw you at the spot, you were glowing like a neon sign

I almost caught your eye, then I shifted to the peripheral line

You moved through the crowd like I was never in the history

Like we weren't a fire, now I’m nothing but a mystery.

And that’s the part that stings, the surgical precision

Of how you cut me out and never doubted the decision.

I’m over here overthinking every look and every gesture

While you’re out here diamond-cold, thriving under pressure.

I want to be that cold, I want to be that disconnected

I want to leave your messages sitting there, neglected.

But my thumb keeps hovering, my heart keeps stuttering

And I’m still trapped in all the words I’m never uttering.

[Bridge: Vocal layers build up; intense ad-libs in the background]

Teach me how you do it, teach me how to go numb

Teach me how to walk away until the damage is undone.

Is it a switch you flip? Is it a wall you build?

Or was I just a space that you decided not to fill?

[High note/Vocal run]

I need that power!

[Chorus]

I’m tired of the waiting, tired of the vanity

Tired of this one-way road that’s stealing my sanity.

I’m looking in the glass, and I’m speaking it to me

I wish I had the power to ignore you Like you ignore me. Yeah, I wish I had the strength to just walk past the door

To keep my phone face down and not look for you no more

I wish I had the power to ignore you Like you ignore me.

[Outro: Beat strips back to just the piano and a muffled 808]

Like you ignore me...

Wish I could just... turn it off.

Switch it off like a light.

[Fade out]

I'm still looking... damn.
