Lyrics

Paragraphs sitting heavy on my chest, unread
I type it out, stare at the screen, then I delete it instead
'Cause I know how my mouth gets when my heart feels bent
I don't mean to cause damage, I just talk with intent
So I swallow it sharp, let it sit in my lungs
Every truth I don't say still be on my drums
I ain't scared of the talk, I'm just scared how it lands
When emotion gets loose and slips out of my hands
I don't yell when I'm stressed, I just quiet my tone
Every pause got a reason, every thought find a home
Message pending, sitting right by my name
Windows down, city hum keeping me sane
If I go quiet, it ain't part of a game
I just don't want to speak from a place full of pain
Message pending, I'm still holding my breath
Trying to say it the right way, not say it to death
If I don't hit send, it ain't love with a test
It's me trying to protect what we've built, not my chest
Men got gut feelings too, we just bury them deep
Smile through the static, act like we sleep
Heart rate racing, hands cold on the wheel
Mind jamming planes every time I don't feel
Past left bruises, I don't flex online
So I scan for red flags in the calm sometimes
You ain't hurt, but my system still checks
For explosions in rooms that I didn't wire for wrecks
This ain't fear, it's repair
This ain't space, it's restraint
I don't run from the truth, I just walk it in shape
Message pending, sitting right by my name
Windows down, city hum keeping me sane
If I go quiet, it ain't part of a game
I just don't want to speak from a place full of pain
Message pending, I'm still holding my breath
Trying to say it the right way, not say it to death
If I don't hit send, it ain't love with a test
It's me trying to protect what we've built, not my chest
I've been silent, not absent, that's a line you should know
I don't disappear, I just pace what I show
I've seen honesty kill shit it swore it would save
So I measure my breath before letting it rage
I ain't perfect, I just practice restraint
Trying to speak from the heart without leaking my pain
I ain't scared of the talk, I'm scared of the scar
When a moment gets twisted by the way words are
Message pending, still sitting unread
Windows down, but it's quiet in my head
I say less now, I don't beg, I don't plead
If you feel the distance, that's me protecting my peace
Message pending, I ain't chasing a thing
I know my worth, I don't panic or cling
If I hit send, it's 'cause I mean what I say
If I don't, understand, I just chose me toda
