[Verse 1]
You serious
It’s early in the morning
I’ve been callin’ you up
Said you wouldn’t be gone past eleven
Well baby that’s come and gone
But I don’t wanna trust my intuition
I called your friends
They said you left, I don’t remember when
I started to think it was all in my head
But the last message I sent you was left on read
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be leaving you in the morning
My patience, overflowing
Don’t know where you’ll be going
But you can’t stay here tonight
I’ve been thinkin’ of this for a minute
And baby the clock is ticking
You’ll bе out of my hair by the morning
And if you text you’ll be lеft
[Chorus]
On read (hey)
You’ll be left on read (on read)
You’ll be left on read (oh no)
You’ll be left on read
(And If you text you’ll be left)
On read (on read)
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
[Verse 2]
Baby girl wait a minute
I’ve been looking for you
I’ve been giving you some limits
Why you think I’m playin’
Word to Yonce I’ll find another you in a minute
I don’t usually dip like this (like this)
I’ll get to the point real quick
Baby this is all nonsense
Bottom line, the door
I don’t need you anymore
This isn’t a before and after
This isn’t a It’ll get better
I don’t need you in my life
Too much sacrifice
That leads into nothing
I don’t wanna fall right back into the storm that I made before
Don’t make this song mean nothin’ just a tune with a couple chords
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be leaving you in the morning
My patience, overflowing
Don’t know where you’ll be going (going, stayin’)
But you can’t stay here tonight
I’ve been thinkin’ of this for a minute
And baby the clock is ticking
You’ll be out of my hair by the morning
And if you text you’ll be left
[Chorus]
On read
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
(And If you text you’ll be left)
On read (on read)
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
(Ha Ha Ha)
[Refrain]
I ain’t cryin’ I ain’t hurtin’ no more
Told myself I ain’t gon’ worry no more
It ain’t alright I ain’t gon’ hide it no more
Take your excuses and get out the door
I ain’t cryin’ I ain’t hurtin’ no more
Told myself I ain’t gon’ worry no more
It ain’t alright I ain’t gon’ hide it no more
Take your excuses and get out the door
[Bridge]
(Oh baby cause)
You ain’t faithful anymore
(missed calls, misdirection I’ll inform ya)
I’ve been through this all before
(tracing steps, right and left, I’ll ignore)
You ain’t faithful anymore
(missed calls, misdirection I’ll inform ya)
And I’ve been through this all before
And if you text you’ll be left
[Chorus]
On read
You’ll be left on read (no)
You’ll be left on read (hey)
You’ll be left on read (hey)
You’ll be left on read (no, no, no)
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
You’ll be left on read
(vocal scat)
[Outro]
I ain’t cryin’ I ain’t hurtin’ no more
Told myself I ain’t gon’ worry no more
And I’ve been through this all before
(You’ll be left on read)
Cause you ain’t faithful anymore (no oh no)
And I’ve been through this all before
Oh
