lyrics

I left the frame on the shelf

By the blue bowl, by myself

At two-ten, my phone lit green

Your face still sat in the screen

I swiped left, then I swiped back

My thumb froze on that dark crack

The glass kept your grin in place

I turned it down, then lost my face

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

In my room on Bryant Street

Dry shampoo and tangled keys

I moved the lamp, I shut the door

Still there on my bedroom floor

I tried the trash, I tried the cloud

But that little square stayed loud

My nails tapped on the glass

Like I could make the moment pass

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

At eleven oh-five, I stared

At the corner of your hair

One tap close, one breath away

But I let it stay, I let it stay

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete

Too bright to delete
