Ep!K - The Message That Never Got Sent Lyrics

I checked my phone constantly, waiting for a reply
So I text you again
Take a breath and set my phone down wait another long time
Then I text you again
Convince myself you must be busy
There's no way you could ignore someone who you said you've been missing
There's no way that all of a sudden my messages aren't sending
There's no way
It says delivered right there
So I text you again
No reply
An hour passes
How
I've been with you for some time now
I know your phone is by your side
Foul games you play with my mind
I'll try calling
It rings
And rings
And rings
Rings like the ones our fingers
Promise, I promise
Rings like a whaling firelight
You see nothing through the smoke
Though blinded you feel that sense of urgency
Reminded that this must be an emergency
So you reaching call out for someone
Someone who you thought would be there
Who said they'd be there
Who you want to be there
You redefined closeness
I based my actions off your comfortability
We redefined the meaning of intimacy
Remember when you said you felt I will always wanted something from you
When we would play pool at the student center of activity
I said I wanted nothing more than a peck
That innocent from childhood before the sex
That moment of wanting more but less
You put your hood on and laid your head on my chest
I didn't know you had a problem with kissing me
Or maybe a problem with kissing
So I held you tight
And hoped that you against me meant as much as lips meeting
Remember that time at that same place
Where you told me about those who would take advantage
And we both agreed that that fear bled on to me
And we both knew about the damage
So I promise you with everything I had in me
That I'd never do those past transgressions
And I put my head down on the table where we sat
And you kissed my forehead and thanked me for my testament
My cousin said girls have the keys to sex
While guys have the keys to intimacy
Well, you definitely took my keys and pocketed them
Cause I was pussy whipped without any pussy
You took my keys and expected me to run without you near me
You took my keys and expected me to let you leave without you hearing me
I don't know whether to be mad or forgive you
See, my mom said those who still might need the item a lot more than me
My mama always told me to turn the other cheek
Well, if they keep hitting it and stealing from me mama what's the benefit for me
So I can say that I'm not like them
While I pay for food but they eat for free
So I can say that I'm not like them
Where they can fuck any girl they want, but when I'm with her, I'm still waiting
So I can say that I'm not like them
And a good guy is what the girls all see, and then a bad guy comes along
And then she takes him over me

I checked my phone constantly, waiting for a reply
So I text you again
Take a breath and set my phone down wait another long time
Then I text you again
Convince myself you must be busy
There's no way you could ignore someone who you said you've been missing
There's no way that all of a sudden my messages aren't sending
There's no way
It says delivered right there
So I text you again
