"Left On Read" lyrics

Suddenly the room goes cold
Reading from a script you stole
Thought you'd watch me come undone
Beg you not to cut and run

Acting like a man but playing like a boy
Running from a fire you couldn't enjoy
Thought I'd break, thought I'd bend
Thought I'd chase you to the end

Left me on read, faded into the dark
Did you think your silence was gonna leave a mark
Watch me walk away without a word to say
You're gonna feel this one for a long, long day

Left me on a blinking screen
Cleanest exit you have seen
Didn't even have the nerve
To give me half of what I'm worth

Now you're checking if I've moved along
Now you're wondering where I've gone
Funny how the quiet turns
Funny how the silence burns

Left me on read, hiding behind your screen
I'm still the baddest thing that you have ever seen
Watch me light it up, watch me live it loud
You had all of this and you let it out

Didn't need an explanation
Didn't need you to be brave
Just a little honest sentence
That's the one thing you can't say

Left me on read, faded into the grey
I was never gonna beg you to stay
Watch me walk away, watch me live my life
You made a big mistake tonight
