It was 2.17,
the room was ***
I reached for your charger like I always did
My thumb brushed something cold underneath the bed
A black little burner that I'd never seen
Screen lit up quiet with a name I didn't know
Don't say my real one,
delete after you read My heart dropped
heavy like a stone in slow motion
While you were in the shower,
humming soft as the ocean
Funny how three inches of mattress can hide a whole second light
Funny how I memorized your laugh but never learned your lies
Second phone, second soul Second phone,
second soul
Second set of secrets you never let me
hold While I was giving you my nights,
my mornings
My whole world,
you were texting someone else I'm on my way,
girl
Second phone,
second heart beating in the dark While mine just fell apart
I guess I was a fool who only had the one
You needed two to keep the real one gone
I scroll back months like a ghost in your
timeline Same nights you said I'm tired,
just need quiet time
There were hearts in red,
there were plans in blue Every I love you,
you told me wasn't true
You dried your hair,
smiled,
asked what I want for dinner I stared
at my plate like a convicted sinner
How do you act normal when the whole script just burned?
How do you kiss someone whose pages you just turned?
You said, baby, what's wrong?
You look kinda pale
I almost laughed,
almost told the tale But silence felt
safer than watching you lie to my face
So I swallowed the truth and let it sink to its place
Second phone,
second soul Second set of secrets you never let me hold
While I was giving you my nights,
my mornings My whole world,
you were texting someone else
I'm on my way,
girl Second phone,
second heart beating in the dark While mine just
fell apart I guess I was a fool who only had
the one You needed two to keep the real one gone
Now I sleep on the edge of the bed like
a stranger Your real phone lights up,
I don't even anger I just count the cracks in the ceiling One by one,
wonder which me you loved The one you called
at night Or the one you never called at all
Second phone,
dead and cold I left it on the table with everything
I know You'll wake up soon and act like nothing ever
changed I'll act like I believe you till I walk away
Second phone,
second you I only wish I'd been the one you hated too
But I was just a cover,
the safe and quiet one You needed two lives,
I wasn't either one
2-17,
the minute I died Rain on the window,
you still humming inside
