We could talk for 15 hours straight 

And make your brother worry 

Save me as ‘non-lover” in your contacts 

As if you didn’t propose 

 

My username is still a butterfly 

With the ice cream emoji 

I’m prepared for forever together 

I thought I’d told you so 

 

It hurts when you don’t text for days 

I can’t even say “it’s fine” with a smiley face 

Babe, I don’t want to lie 

Weren’t you mine in the first place 

 

Now I think about the tweets you used to tag me in 

When it felt like you were in a void with no one listening 

I want to be there now as I was then 

I miss knowing everything about you and being your best friend 

 

Now I write songs about how painful the silence is 

You’re always one text away but that feels like quite the distance 

I wish I could be in your life again 

I miss knowing you, I miss you, darling 

 

You’re moving out of town? And changing jobs? 

I’m lucky I have your new number 

I panicked so fucking hard when I thought 

You had cut me off 

I hate the feeling of being out of 

The loop, that used,  

to be my daily news 

Paper 

Are you even doing alright, my love 

Living with all those 

Strangers 

 

It hurts when you don’t text for days 

I can’t even say “it’s fine” with a smiley face 

Babe, I don’t want to lie 

Weren’t you mine in the first place 

 

Now I think about the tweets you used to tag me in 

When it felt like you were in a void with no one listening 

I want to be there now as I was then 

I miss knowing everything about you and being your best friend 

 

Now I write songs about how painful the silence is 

You’re always one text away but that feels like quite the distance 

I wish I could be in your life again 

I miss knowing you, I miss you, darling 

 

You say I can shoot a message whenever I want 

But I don’t even have anything going on 

I’m more inclined to shoot the messenger 

But I know it’s different on your side 

Why don’t you send updates about your life 

You make me feel so helpless here 

Isn’t it hard without me 

You know, oh, that the only thing 

I’m good for is to be your listener 

It hurts to think that you 

Aren’t thinking of me, too 

(Lie to me, tell me it isn’t true) 

 

These days I keep thinking about what I missed 

Perhaps I should be planning another visit 

But I’m frightened 

By the thought that you don’t want any of this 

 

And it would be super awkward if 

I went to where you lived 

Wouldn’t it? 

…Can I send you another gift? 

 

Now I think about the tweets you used to tag me in 

When it felt like you were in a void with no one listening 

I want to be there now as I was then 

I miss knowing everything about you and being your best friend

You’re always one text away but that feels like quite the distance 

I wish I could be in your life again 

I miss knowing you, I miss you, darling
