unsent Songtext
von Just Pete

I′ve been talking to the ceiling like it answers back
Telling stories of the things we had and what we lack
Your sweater's on the chair, I can′t throw it away
It smells like you and mistakes we made

My phone lights up, I hope it's you
Then it's just news, it′s something new
I type your name out
Just to see if missing you is missing me
And I tell myself, "I′m over it"
Then why's your ghost inside my tex-

Message unsent, but I meant every word
You′ll never read what you already heard
It's easier hiding behind the blue tint
Than facing the truth in a message unsent


Scrolling through our old chats like they′re sacred lines
I keep rewriting endings that were never mine
Every emoji feels like a trap
Every "maybe" I type just snaps right back
I talk to my notes app more than my friends
I rehearse goodbyes, they never end

I hit "save draft" and breathe again
Just to feel like I've hit "send"

Message unsent, but I meant every word
You′ll never read what you already heard
It's easier hiding behind the blue tint
Than facing the truth in a message unsent

Maybe someday I'll let it go
Delete your number, block the ghost
But tonight, I′ll type it out again
Pretending you might still hit "send"

Message unsent, but I meant every word
You′ll never read what you already heard
And maybe it's better, this way in the end
My heart delivered through a message unsent
