You never picked up!

Artist: Palodious Lyrics: I learned the sound of nothing answering me Before I learned your voice again Every call hit the same dead space Like it never left my hand I stopped expecting footsteps in the hall Stopped reacting to the phone Because every time I needed anyone I was already alone You had time for other voices Other names, other days But mine kept disappearing In a hundred different ways You made it easy to vanish Without saying a word And called it normal distance Like that was all I deserved YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When everything was falling apart YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When I couldn’t restart Now you stand where I ended up Like you belong in this part YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED So don’t ask me to restart I remember the silence clearly I remember it clearly Now you talk like nothing happened Like time erased every line Like I wasn’t left unanswered A thousand separate times Now the messages come in steady Like you never missed a beat Like I wasn’t building distance Every time I asked for relief You want access to the outcome You want presence in the frame But you skipped every beginning Now you’re late to say my name Funny how memory changes When success is in the air Suddenly every empty moment Becomes something you were there for YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When everything was falling apart YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When I couldn’t restart Now you stand where I ended up Like you belong in this part YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED So don’t ask me to restart You had the chance in real time Not in hindsight conversations You chose every other moment Over every situation You don’t get to rename it Or soften what it was The pattern stayed the same Until I finally was done I stopped reaching out I stopped trying again I stopped expecting anything From where you’d never been I used to think distance meant confusion Like I misread the signs But it was just repetition Across too many nights Every unanswered moment Was already the answer I just didn’t want to hear it Until I couldn’t go further YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When everything was falling apart YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED When I couldn’t restart Now you stand where I ended up Like you belong in this part YOU NEVER PICKED UP WHEN IT MATTERED So don’t ask me to restart I stopped waiting I stopped waiting I stopped waiting AI Usage Warning: The vocals (singing) and instrumentals in this track were generated or augmented with AI tools.
