Tap,tap,tap
The fingers start typing
Click,click,click
The message is enteredTouch,touch,touch
The message is sent
Wait,wait,wait
The message is deliveredBow,bow,bow
Your head falls into your hands
Beat,beat,beat
Your heart pumps rapidlyWatch,watch,watch
The pain staking typing
Read,read,read
The message you were dreadingCry,cry,cry
It's just a message
Think,think,think
She might not mean itText,text,text
Make sure it's not real
Send,send,send
You're ready for the long wait againPray,pray,pray
Tell yourself it's not real
Skim,skim,skim
Make sure she's changed her mindBeg,beg,beg
She's not gonna leave you
Stop,stop,stop
It's over
