Left on Read

[Intro – crisp piano + finger-snap]
Mmm… yeah…
[Verse 1 – smooth, close-mic’d]
Three dots dancin’, then they disappear,
Your name lights up, but you’re never here.
I replay the voice note just to hear you breathe,
Every “haha” you sent still lives in my feed.
Midnight scrollin’, thumb on the screen,
Wonderin’ if you’re out there missin’ me.
[Pre-Chorus – talk-box whisper]
I should log off, but I keep refreshin’,
One little heart could fix this depression…
[Chorus – sticky, layered]
Left on read, but I’m still in your head—
Bet you smile when my name pops red.
Ooh-ooh, baby, why you playin’ shy?
Type it back, don’t leave me high and dry.
Left on read, yeah, the story’s unsaid—
But we both know what’s goin’ on in bed.
[Verse 2 – playful, piano runs]
You liked my story from three weeks ago,
Now you’re watchin’—girl, I know you know.
I sent a meme, you left me on seen,
But your Spotify’s playin’ our old routine.
Double-tap ghostin’, but the vibe’s still loud,
We’re a silent film in a talkin’ crowd.
[Pre-Chorus – talk-box swell]
I should move on, but I keep confessin’,
One little text could end this obsession…
[Chorus – bigger, harmonies]
Left on read, but I’m still in your head—
Bet you smile when my name pops red.
Ooh-ooh, baby, why you playin’ shy?
Type it back, don’t leave me high and dry.
Left on read, yeah, the story’s unsaid—
But we both know what’s goin’ on in bed.
[Bridge – half-time, finger-snaps only]
If you’re scared, just say it in a voice note,
I’ll be the read you never wanna un-wrote.
Then—snap back! (Piano riff + clap)
[Final Chorus – full shine, ad-libbed]
Left on read! (Hey!) But I’m still in your head—
Send a heart, make the blue turn red.
Ooh-ooh, baby, stop the games we play,
Hit reply—let’s finish what we started today.
Left on read, turn it into “us” instead—
We’re one tap away from bein’ more than friends.
[Outro – piano fades, last snap]
Left… on… read…
But I’m still waitin’…
Hit send.
