Hey Ruby Songtext
von RG Shadow

Hey Ruby, RG here, it′s been a minute
You been low on replies, something feels different
I text "how you doing?" you say "I'm good"
But that silence behind it don′t feel like it should

Ruby typing "how are you?" then it disappears
Like you start to talk then you cancel it near
You used to overshare, now it's short replies
"I'm fine", "I′m okay" but I see through the lies

Ruby don′t call much, just random late texts
"you up?" at night like you trying to forget
But even then you stop when it gets too real
Like you don't know how you′re supposed to feel

Hey Ruby, I'm sorry I didn′t listen
Couldn't keep it in, I know I messed up
Now it′s too late and it's hitting me hard
I should've seen it right from the start


Ruby, I′m sorry, I let it slide
You were talking, I didn′t reply
Now I keep replaying everything you said
Wish I listened when you were still here

Ruby said school been heavy, people talk too much
Every little mistake they just tear you up
You laugh it off quick like it doesn't stay
But I know those words don′t just fade away

Ruby, how are you, you said "same old me"
But same old me don't sound like peace
It sounds like coping, staying contained
Like you smiling outside but it′s all strain

Ruby, you been different even in your tone
Like you don't stay anywhere you just roam
Always "outside", never really home
Like the walls got ears and you feel alone

Hey Ruby, I′m sorry I didn't listen
Couldn't keep it in, I know I messed up
Now it′s too late and it′s hitting me hard
I should've seen it right from the start


Ruby, I′m sorry, I let it slide
You were talking, I didn't reply
Now I keep replaying everything you said
Wish I listened when you were still here

Ruby, you said home don′t feel the same no more
Like the air gets heavy when you close that door
Warzone home but you never say it loud
Just change the topic when it comes around

Ruby I know how your energy shifts
Like you walking careful through emotional cliffs
Some nights you vanish, no explanation
Just "don't worry about it" then conversation vacant

Ruby, your mom been distant, new face in the space
You don′t call it out, just accept the change
Like you learned early not to question things
Just survive the mood that the house might bring

Ruby, that boyfriend, you defend him quick
Say "he's just stressed", say "don't start this"
But you look more drained every time he speak
Like his comfort costs more than you can keep

Ruby, I ain′t judging, I just observe
How your "it′s okay" never really works
You stay in that loop, giving second chances
While your own peace slowly disappears in fragments

Hey Ruby, I'm sorry I didn′t listen
Couldn't keep it in, I know I messed up
Now it′s too late and it's hitting me hard
I should′ve seen it right from the start

Ruby, I'm sorry, I let it slide
You were talking, I didn't reply
Now I keep replaying everything you said
Wish I listened when you were still here

Ruby stopped replying, left me on seen
Same night felt heavier than it′s ever been
Text said "ruby?" then nothing came back
Just empty screen and a fading track

Ruby, how are you, I said it again
I went to her place, something felt off then
I saw red stains, didn′t need to explain
So I ran to the hospital feeling the pain

Was the 4th time, same kind of scene
Same hospital doors, same in-between
Waiting for news, same heavy air
Like I already knew what was there

The doctor was waitin' with a sorry for loss

My heartbeats raced like it was the end world
Then everything snapped and the room just swirled
Woke up in a bed, hands feeling cold
Couldn′t really move, body stuck and old

Doctor stood there, face kinda low
Said there's more news I needed to know

Said I won′t feel things the way I used to feel
Like half of me is gone and it never heals
Couldn't even speak, just stared at the wall
Like my whole life ended inside that call

Ruby I tried, but I couldn′t reply
Couldn't even cry, just froze inside
I thought I'm awake but my body was frozen
My body was stuck and my mind was loosen

After that day, I don′t feel the same
Everything quiet, even calling your name
Friends come around but I don′t respond
Like I'm still stuck where you were gone

I sit in my room, replaying it all
Every missed message, every late call
How could I forgive myself for that night
When you were fading and I didn′t get it right

I swear I would trade everything I got
Just to rewind to that last reply you forgot
