"Hey"

4:37
"Hey what's up"

4:38
"..."
"..."
"It's hard to explain"

From soaked up towels

And damp wishes

A word bank of words try to fall from my mouth

Catching them with broken fishing nets

And tying them up with torn up ropes

Half of what I want to say spills out

4:39
"It's been just.. A bad day, you know?"

4:46
"..."
"..."
"Yeah."

4:47
"Can I tell you about it?"

4:52
"I guess."

What hurts is how the distance from our times and texts

We're the distance between what we ever had

How I thought maybe a quick message back and a care

Would sew my open wounds

And open mouth back together

"It's just, I've felt so lonely lately and I feel like I have no one. I watch you go off with her and I feel really sick to the stomach and I just want to find someone like that for me anymore. I watched you leave me like nothing and it really sucks I guess."

5:03
"Sorry."

5:04
"If that all you're going to say?"

I sit here and dwell over the empty feelings you dug from my chest

You replaced them with bursted balloons and half empty drinks

Being left there for those were the best gifts you gave me

5:08
"Yeah. Probably."

5:10
"I'll just go then.."
"..."
"Bye"

5:11
"Bye."
