Congrats, I Guess: lyrics

  1. The screen is way too bright for 2 AM.
  2. I’m scrolling through the life you’ve built since then.
  3. She’s wearing that blue jacket I once lost,
  4. Standing by the bridge we used to cross.
  5. I start to type a line about the weather,
  6. How nice it is you’ve finally pulled together.
  7. But my thumb just hovers over every word,
  8. Saying what I feel would be absurd.
  9. Congrats, I guess.
  10. I’m the only one still in this mess.
  11. It’s been a year, but I’m still stuck behind,
  12. Searching for the things I’ll never find.
  13. I delete the message, start it one more time,
  14. Acting like I’m doing fine.
  15. Congrats, I guess.
  16. I’m the only one still in this mess.
  17. I wonder if she knows your favorite song,
  18. Or if she’s figured out when things go wrong.
  19. You look like you’ve forgotten how we ended,
  20. While I’m still here pretending I’ve mended.
  21. I draft a simple wish for your new start,
  22. Then backspace through the beating of my heart.
  23. Three times I tried to be the bigger person,
  24. But every draft just makes the silence worsen.
  25. Congrats, I guess.
  26. I’m the only one still in this mess.
  27. It’s been a year, but I’m still stuck behind,
  28. Searching for the things I’ll never find.
  29. I delete the message, start it one more time,
  30. Acting like I’m doing fine.
  31. Congrats, I guess.
  32. I’m the only one still in this mess.
  33. The cursor blinks like it’s mocking me,
  34. At the ghost of who I used to be.
  35. I put the phone face down against the sheet,
  36. Accepting that I’ve suffered this defeat.
  37. Congrats, I guess.
  38. I’m the only one still in this mess.
  39. It’s been a year, but I’m still stuck behind,
  40. Searching for the things I’ll never find.
  41. I delete the message, start it one more time,
  42. Acting like I’m doing fine.
  43. Congrats, I guess.
  44. I’m the only one still in this mess.
