Lyrics
Little Conversations
I found your note in a paperback spine
Said “Don’t look for answers, they’re not mine”
You always left like a scene of the crime
And I stayed stuck in a moment we couldn’t define
You talked in riddles, and I missed the clues
We made plans we were never gonna use
Built a love out of Post-its and glue
But nothing we said ever really rang true
The little conversations that we never shared
Echo like sirens in the midnight air
All the things we thought, but didn’t dare
Now it’s too damn late, and I just don’t care
We passed like strangers in our own place
You slept on the left, and I stared into space
You used to laugh like the world was new
Now your silence feels louder than anything you do
I tried to write in black and white
But the page stayed blank every single night
Now your voice is a ghost in my head
Repeating the words that we never said
The little conversations that we never shared
Echo like sirens in the midnight air
All the things we thought, but didn’t dare
Now it’s too damn late, and I just don’t care
Say something real
Say something now
Or we’ll fade like the ink
On our broken vows
This is the fallout of the things we missed
Unread texts and a half-formed kiss
A final scene with no one there
Just the little conversations that we never shared
The little conversations that we never shared
Echo like sirens in the midnight air
All the things we thought, but didn’t dare
Now it’s too damn late, and I just don’t care
