lyrics

will you keep a little piece
somewhere you can see?
reminder of what existed

you said you'd proudly display it
that's really all I needed
but as I'm blocked and deleted
it's getting hard to believe it

I know you need a space
where you don't worry what I may see
still feels like you're trying to erase me

someone's insecurities
about you and me.
what makes it so complicated?

say you can't describe it
let me simplify it
i just don't like spending all my time
In the quiet
you don't want to try it
so we compromise
it's simple, you get everything you want
and I get silence

go on keep pretending that you don't know me
but I bet you'll see me scrolling on your FYP
if you don't ever want to hear a thing about me
don't check the charts
keep that block button handy

you said you'd proudly display it
that's really all I needed
but as I'm blocked and deleted
it's getting hard to believe it
if I can make a career
out of a bad situation
then I've got you to thank
for the motivation

I'd always dreamed that I'd be taking you with me
and if we were talking like I'd hoped that we'd still be
that's one thing. I will be determined to fill these
empty spaces with something that's real if it kills me

go on keep pretending that you don't know me
but I bet you'll see me scrolling on your FYP
if you don't ever want to hear a thing about me
don't check the charts
keep that block button handy
