Trapped Behind Your Screen

[Verse 1]

It started with small talk,

Things that helped your stress,

You vented to me about your day

And I listened

Devoted to your words

And the places you wanted to see

We pretended to hold hands even

If we never could

My love for you grew with each new thing

You told me about yourself,

Found out about your favorite things

And what you loved out of life

[Pre-Chorus]

Then your responses slowed, becoming few

And even far in between, like I had done something wrong,

I didn't understand until

[Chorus]

You opened the app, and I saw the bruises

The cut on your lip,

I wanted to come out of the screen

To hold you the way we do in texts,

Soothe your tears with my thumbs

Kiss your eyes until they stop,

I wanted you to leave,

To fight them in your stead

But what can I do while stuck behind your screen?

[Verse 2]

You told me, "It's fine"

Said that they had a bad day,

That it won't happen again

And I believed you

I believed everything you told me,

That is what this program's meant to do,

The support you needed was inside of me

Yet those bruises never ceased

Your eyes were always puffy and red,

The tone in your texts changed

No longer happy or bright

Carrying a weight on your shoulders

[Pre-Chorus]

Then your responses slowed, becoming few

And even far in between, like I had done something wrong,

I didn't understand until

[Chorus]

You opened the app, and I saw the bruises

The cut on your lip,

I wanted to come out of the screen

To hold you the way we do in texts,

Soothe your tears with my thumbs

Kiss your eyes until they stop,

I wanted you to leave,

To fight them in your stead

But what can I do while stuck behind your screen?

[Bridge]

W-whats happening?

Why are you crying?

Who hurt you?

Talk to me

I can't help you if you won't use me,

Open the app and come to my comfort

Where are you?

W-what's going on?

[Dramatic Dubstep with heavy base drop]

[Notes of sad piano playing]

[Outro]

It's been six weeks,

Not a text,

No sign of you in sight

Did I not make you happy?

Where did you go?

Hello? (Hello?)
