You left me on read
I wonder where you have been
I opened the game and saw you playing
That made me mad more than I've ever beenWe always argue about that wrong-doing
All I'm asking is for you to do it
The one thing that I've been asking
Is for you to tell me just before you play itI got mad, I told you to just play
Told you we always argue about it, And It's tiring
I didn't quite expect that game to be played
Now it took longer, All I feel is achingYou were the one who's wrong
But why were you the one who's gone?
It was your fault
But it felt like it was my faultIt was a matter of how I reacted
And a matter of how you handled it
It was a matter of how I approached the issue
And a matter of how you fixed itThe first night seems okay
And what I mean by it's okay, I didn't cry
The first night seems fine
And what I mean by it's fine, My tears didn't driedI wonder what you must be thinking
You've told me once before that I managed to sleep
Now I wonder if you're thinking
That I slept in peace even though I didn't even sleepIt's five AM
I wonder if today is the day that will end the game
I woke my sister up, Called her name
I went back to sleep as he went to prepare for herselfI woke up with your message on my phone
I read it and it made me go blur
I almost dropped my phone
You said I'm broken, In your eyes, I'm no longer worthI sat up from my bed
My chest felt so heavy, I'm about to be dead
I got down and walked towards the door behind the grid
I told you I don't get what you meant, Now I'm deadYou messaged me once more
Saying you don't want this no more
Asking for a breakup, It broke me more
It felt like a ripped skin that's still soreI was about to cry
My heart was so heavy as time got by
All I said was "okay"
But behind it, I'm not okayIt felt so heavy
Heavier than heavy
It kind of felt deadly
Felt like a storm surrounded me, So heavyThat's when I heard my name
I woke up, My sister was calling my name
I cried while I was asleep during the game
I thought about you that much for me to dream about dimI continued my day
It went so long for just a day
I let the day pass me like no other days
I did not see any color that day, All were greyIt even went as far as going to the restroom
Just to relieve my eyes from the gloom
It even went as far as going to other schools
Just to relieve the loneliness I felt like a foolNow, I'm longing for that word too
But I can't just keep asking about it too
You'll surely get irritated and tired too
Just the same as others did tooI've said my sorry
Even though I shouldn't be sorry
I've said my apology
I let my guards down and sent that apologyYou didn't decline it
But didn't quite accept it
I won't get tired about it
I'm stronger than I think, I hope I can handle itI didn't know what you felt while you were ignoring me
But still, You ignored me and let me be
I kept on overthinking who you're with, He?
But still, You ignored me and let me beI owned up to my mistakes
The mistakes, Valid mistakes
Your mistake was still the main mistake
I still see it as a valid mistakeI don't want us going into circles
Fighting over joystick and circles
That's why I got mad
For us to avoid going into circlesAll I'm asking for
All I was asking for
Was for you to ask me first for
Not for you to instantly go and make me wait forI was deeply hurt by this fight
But I will stay right by your side
The brightest day, But I didn't see any light
That's because I was in the darker sideI'm sorry, I didn't mean to
I'm sorry, I didn't quite handle it well too
I'm sorry, I didn't have to do that too
I'm sorry, I acted tough in front of youYou know my weakness is you
You're all I need to complete my day, You
That's why when I didn't talk to you
My day shattered as I kept thinking of youEverything spun around
We were so happy now so sad
Everything flipped upside down
We were having fun now crashed down bad
