MESSAGES ON READ Lyrics by Keonté

VELVET

2022

How long has it been? Been gone so long, you must not want me back
Can I get some closure, girl you owe me that
And you won't pick up your phone, nah you don't call me back
Still listen to the music, so you gon' hear me on this track
I can’t even lie and act like I don’t feel no way about it
Talked about our futures and I liked the way it sounded
Now I’m a part of your past and I guess it ain't no way around it
So, I hop right on this mic, fuck suffering in silence
[Chorus]
All alone and I hate going through this shit again
Can I hear your voice? I’m missing it again
Could you pick up, girl I still got a lot to say
We ain't gotta be this way, we been on and off for days
I got these messages on read, thoughts inside my head
About how much I miss you and these things I should’vе said
Why we can’t even bе friends?
I hate to see it end
I’d never play your heart, but it's like you just play pretend
[Verse]
I gave way too much, I can’t be selfish
And I care way too much, I can’t be careless
All them memories that you don’t cherish
They meant everything to me, now I’m embarrassed
I wish I could take it back, but that time is gone
When I was out on road, you would hit my phone
“Tell me when you make it home” that was so long ago, story don’t get old
Used to hold you close, now it's vamanos
[Chorus]
All alone and I hate going through this shit again
Can I hear your voice? I’m missing it again
Could you pick up, girl I still got a lot to say
We ain't gotta be this way, we been on and off for days
I got these messages on read, thoughts inside my head
About how much I miss you and these things I should’ve said
Why we can’t even be friends?
I hate to see it end
I’d never play your heart, but it's like you just play pretend
[Outro]
No lies in these lines, I was really tryna be the one for you
Eyes to your eyes, that night I confessed all of my love for you
I wonder whats up with you
What few bad things have I done to you?
That was so bad, you up and left me
With nothing but BS when you finally text me
Love me and then you resent me
I know I ain't perfect, all that I did with you girl I did it with my best intentions
I was so in it, wasn’t pretending
I gave your people a reason to trust me
Could’ve been something, now all we got is nothing
I guess it was easy for you to come end it
