You hear me?
I hear you… just not the truth
…here we go again

[Verse 1]

Phone light glow, yeah I stayed up late,
You say you’re good but I hear the break,
Every pause got a weight to it,
Every word feel rehearsed and fake

I been trying just to reach your side,
But you drift every time I try,
You say “space,” I gave you miles—
Now I’m lost in the in-between lines

[Verse 2 ]

Nah don’t flip it like I disappeared,
You went quiet first, let’s make that clear,
Every time that I tried to talk—
You’d deflect, then vanish outta here

You want truth but you dodge that too,
Only hear what aligns with you,
Say I changed? Yeah maybe I did—
Had to grow where you never grew

I was there—
You were there but you weren’t present
I was trying—
Only when it felt convenient

You don’t get what I carried alone—
You don’t get what you made me hold

I was fighting to keep this alive—
You were fighting to stay in control

That’s not fair—
Neither was shutting me out

I needed time—
You just disappeared without doubt

I came back—
Only when it was breaking down

We keep talking but we don’t hear sound

There’s static in the line, every word misaligned,
You say yours, I say mine at the same time
We’re talking but we’re not getting through,
Just noise in the space me and you

There’s static in the line, in between every line,
Truth fading while we both redefine
We’re right here but it feels like miles—
Same call… different dials

[Verse 3]

I ain’t perfect, yeah I know that much,
But I stayed when it got too rough,
Every time that I pulled away—
It was ‘cause I thought I wasn’t enough

I don’t say what I should out loud,
So it builds then it all spills out,
By the time I try fix the mess—
You already halfway checked out

[Verse 4]

I ain’t leave ‘cause I wanted space,
I got tired of the same old place,
Where I’m begging just to feel you close—
While you standing with a distant face

I was loud ‘cause you wouldn’t hear,
I was strong ‘cause you disappeared,
Now you asking me where I went—
I’ve been gone for about a year

[Bridge]

If I said it now—would it change?
If you meant it then—maybe, yeah
We were close but we slipped away
We were there but not really there

[Final Rap-Off ]

I’m still here—
Yeah but not how I need

I can change—
That’s what you always say to me

Just one shot—
We had more than a few

Don’t hang up—
I already lost you

Static in the line—can you hear me now?
Static in the line—can you hear me now?

There’s static in the line, I can hear it when we try,
Every word getting lost in the fight
We’re calling but we’re falling apart—
Same voice, different hearts

There’s static in the line, in between you and I,
Too much said, but the truth never lands
We were close… now it’s just the sound—
Of us not understanding
