Your name pops up, a notification ghost
A “Happy Birthday” wish that hurts the most
We trade polite emojis, hollow and so thin
A museum of the “we” that we’ve locked in
I heard you got the job, the dog, the coastal town
I’m scrolling through a life I almost found
We’re experts in the art of “look away”
Perfected since the ending of “our” day
And I’ve rehearsed the lines of how I’m doing fine
A bulletproof and calculated sign
But in the space between the “Hey” and “Take good care”
Our whole past is hanging, silent, in the air
Now we’re just strange numbers in each other’s phone
A “maybe call someday” that’s turned to stone
We’re history with a heartbeat, echoes in a case
Two strangers with a familiar face
Oh, we’re masterpieces framed in different halls
Collecting only dust upon the walls
We don’t talk anymore, we just politely bleed
On the altar of the love we used to need
I found the playlist that you made for me
A time capsule of who we used to be
I let it play until the second track
Then closed the app and never clicked it back
You’re in the background of a mutual friend’s feed
A smile that I used to know, a different seed
We’re living proof that love can decompose
Into a list of things that nobody knows
Now we’re just strange numbers in each other’s phone
A “maybe call someday” that’s turned to stone
We’re history with a heartbeat, echoes in a case
Two strangers with a familiar face
Oh, we’re masterpieces framed in different halls
Collecting only dust upon the walls
We don’t talk anymore, we just politely bleed
On the altar of the love we used to need
They say that time kills everything, but that’s a lie
Some things just learn the perfect way to hide
They fold themselves so small inside your chest
You almost think you’ve laid them all to rest
Until a song, a scent, a stupid joke
And you’re just twenty-two and not yet broke
And for a second, in the neon glow
I almost text you that I miss you so…
But we’re just strange numbers…
Strange numbers in the dark…
Don’t talk anymore…
We don’t talk anymore.
