Let's switch places [music] for a
second. You wait and I never show up. No
explanation, no closure, just [music]
distance that keeps growing. At first,
you tell yourself it's nothing. They're
busy. Life happens. You don't want to
seem dramatic, so you wait a little
longer. Then, a little longer than that,
you start checking [music] your phone
without realizing it. Every vibration
feels like it might be me. Every hour
that passes feels heavier than the last,
and somehow you convince [music]

You just let me keep waiting anyway. So,
if we switch roles, maybe then you'd
understand the real heartbreak isn't
being left. It's being the one who
stayed. Holding [music] space for
someone who had already decided to walk
away. Because loving someone who
disappears [music] teaches you a pain no
apology can undo. And hoping for someone
who's already gone slowly teaches you
