lyrics

At the bus stop on K Road, rain on my sleeve

Your name stayed quiet, and I let it leave

The blue phone light blinked on the cafe bench

I turned the screen face down, took a breath in

I saw my thumb pause over the glass

Then I let the moment pass

No new tab, no late-night scan

Just my bag, my keys, my hand

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

And my heart let go that day

On the ferry home, my ticket in my coat

Salt on the rail, and a half-spent note

I folded your photo into the back of a book

Then I washed the bowl, and I never looked

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

And my heart let go that day

At Pak'nSave, picking limes for the week

I heard your old ring tone in my head go weak

But I kept on walking, past the tins and bread

No more counting every word you never said

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

I stopped checking

And my heart let go that day
