You’ve gone from A to Z in my contacts
You’ve gone through all our conversations from top to bottom
You didn’t see a photo, didn’t see a video, saw nothing suspicious
But the mistake of the wrongdoer is thinking they do everything right
But one detail didn’t escape your eye
She fixated on a different contact and said
Talk to her now, right in front of me
Send a "Hi" so I can see — her talking to you
To check how close you are — if nothing happening is really nothing happening
Send a hi so I can see — what she’ll reply
You’re just one message away — from proving your worth or losing me
Then there’s nothing to do — what am I supposed to say?
But that one detail didn’t escape your eye — he fixated on a different contact and said
Talk to him now, right in front of me
Send a hi so I can see — him talking to you
To check how close you are — if nothing happening is really nothing happening
Send a hi so I can see — what she’ll reply
You’re just one message away — from proving your worth
Or from losing me
Send a hi so I can see — what she’ll reply
You’re just one message away — from proving your worth or losing me
Then there’s nothing to do — what am I supposed to say?
