Text I’ll Never Send

(Tempo: 80 BPM, Key: A minor, Chord progression: Verse: Am-F-C-G, Chorus:F-G-Am-C, Bridge:Dm-Am-G-C, Outro: F-G-Am-C)

Wrote it out a hundred times

But I deleted it every night

You’re online, I hesitate

My heart says go, my fingers wait

This is the text I’ll never send

The words I bend but never end

You’ll never know what I pretend

This is the text I’ll never send

I type “I miss you” then erase

Afraid you’ll laugh, afraid you’ll chase

I scroll through photos, play pretend

But I’m too proud to hit send

This is the text I’ll never send

The words I bend but never end

You’ll never know what I pretend

This is the text I’ll never send

(Instrumental break- Lo-fi strings and guitar play chorus progression)

Maybe one day I’ll be brave

But tonight I’ll misbehave

Let the silence be my friend

And keep the text I’ll never send

I dream you read it late at night

And smile like everything’s alright

But dreams don’t change the way it ends

So I just write and don’t press send

This is the text I’ll never send

The words I bend but never end

You’ll never know what I pretend

This is the text I’ll never send

Maybe someday you’ll understand

The silence was a shaky hand

I loved you more than I could send

So this is the text I’ll never send
