Face Down

You used to leave your phone right next to me

Buzzin’ loud, you never cared who’d see

Now it’s always flipped like secrets on the floor

Screen goes dark when I walk through the door

Late night glow lighting up your face

You say it’s nothing but you switch the page

Got that nervous laugh, yeah I know that tone

Funny how you never leave it alone

⸻

You say I’m trippin’, say I’m out my mind

But why you actin’ like you got somethin’ to hide?

Why you keep your phone face down now?

Who you tryna keep me from now?

Used to let it ring, let me hear that sound

Now you silence everything when I’m around

Got your brightness low, got your passwords changed

Say it’s all the same, but it ain’t the same

Baby, tell me why you look so nervous now

Every time your phone lights up face down

You take it with you just to cross the room

Like I’m some stranger you don’t wanna lose

Bathroom trips turn into twenty minutes long

Comin’ back sayin’ nothin’s goin’ on

I ain’t crazy, I just read between

All the lines you’re hopin’ I don’t see

Got that sixth sense screaming in my chest

Love don’t feel like this when it’s at its best

You swear on us, but your eyes don’t lie

If there’s nothing there, then why you gotta hide?

Why you keep your phone face down now?

Who you tryna keep me from now?

Used to let it ring, let me hear that sound

Now you silence everything when I’m around

Got your brightness low, got your passwords changed

Say it’s all the same, but it ain’t the same

Baby, tell me why you look so nervous now

Every time your phone lights up face down

I don’t need your code, I just need the truth

It’s the way you move, yeah it’s how you move

If there’s nothing wrong, why it feel so wrong?

Why I feel alone when you’re right at home?

Say my name like you used to do

Not like I’m someone you gotta get through

If you got someone, just say it out loud

Don’t make me find out from a face-down sound

Why you keep your phone face down now?

Who you tryna keep me from now?

You can keep your lies, I don’t want ‘em now

I see everything when it lights up now

Yeah your brightness low, but I see it clear

All the truth you’re tryna disappear

Baby, I don’t need to scroll or look around

I already know why it’s face down
