Lyrics:
Verse 1
I wrote your name more times than I’ll admit,
Typed it out, then backspaced bit by bit.
Each line was truth I couldn’t send,
Hoping silence might somehow mend.
You never asked how I’ve been,
But I kept the messages caged within.
I swore I’d hit “send” when the pain would pass —
But they just piled up
Like glass.
Chorus
Now there’s tears in the drafts, I never let go,
Words I rehearsed that you’ll never know.
Half-written love, stuck in between,
More honest than we’ve ever been.
You moved on fast, you walked so clean —
While I got trapped behind a screen.
Pages unsent, breaking in halves —
I still bleed through
Tears in the drafts.
Verse 2
There’s one from May I never touched,
Just “I miss you,” but it said too much.
And one from June where I forgave,
Even though you never stayed.
I kept them all like little prayers,
Unsent confessions I couldn’t bear.
What if you read them and just laughed?
So I buried them
In drafts.
Chorus
Yeah, these tears in the drafts keep pulling me down,
Like messages mailed to no one in town.
Typed in the dark when I needed light,
Saved them all, but not quite right.
You built walls, I built a vault —
Of every word I made my fault.
Still I scroll, still I gasp —
At those frozen
Tears in the drafts.
Bridge
Maybe one day, I’ll hit “delete,”
But not today — it feels like defeat.
'Cause though you’re gone, this part remains,
Proof I once felt something sane.
Final Chorus
Now there’s tears in the drafts, quiet and real,
Wounds I won’t let myself heal.
Your name still sits where I once typed,
But I erase it every night.
This isn’t love, it’s aftermath —
It’s unsent storms, it’s aftermath.
Still I hold tight, still I collapse —
Over
Tears in the drafts.
Outro
You’ll never read what I won’t say —
But I still write
Anyway.
Tears in the drafts...
Forever stay.
