Another item on your list

Lyrics

[INTRO] Soft piano, gentle beat [VERSE 1] You write to me when you have time, just in passing. I write back right away; my mind is clear. I wait for a sign from you, constantly checking my screen. While I exist for you only in the background. That is the difference I see clearly now. [CHORUS] It’s not about the reply—don’t you understand? It’s about showing: You matter to me! You are worth being my priority. But to you, I’m just an item on your list. A box to tick whenever it suits you. Because you no longer have real time for my love. [VERSE 2] I’ve realized you can’t beg for feelings. Love, effort, attention—they have to come naturally. You can’t force it, no matter how much you cry, If, in the end, only one of us truly means it. I’m learning the hard way what that means for us. [CHORUS] Because it’s not about the reply—don’t you understand? It’s about showing: You matter to me! You are… [BRIDGE] Time slips away, words dry up like old ink, I trace the silence, hoping you’ll find me quick. But the clock keeps ticking, and the light starts to bend, I’ll keep writing in the dark until the day ends. [OUTRO] Soft piano fades, a single note lingers, A quiet echo of a love that’s no longer.
