Group Chat Ghost · 群聊里的幽灵

[Verse 1]

Nine of us, now eight, nobody said it out loud

Your name went grey in April like a light switch in the hall

I still type the dumb thing first — the meme, the take, the weather

Then I watch the little bubbles never coming at all

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody posted karaoke, somebody tagged your handle

It bounced back like a stone across a lake

[Chorus]

You're a group chat ghost, you're a read-receipt saint

Left us on delivered, left me mid-sentence, left me half a name

You're a group chat ghost and the thread won't let it go

Typing, typing, typing — and nobody's typing though

[Verse 2]

Maya moved to Denver, Sam keeps sending voice notes long

Devon asks about you gently, like a person asking rain

I scroll up to the night you said you'd never stop replying

Then I scroll back down and act like I don't feel a thing

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody posted karaoke, nobody tagged your handle

We're all just learning how to fake

[Chorus]

You're a group chat ghost, you're a read-receipt saint

Left us on delivered, left me mid-sentence, left me half a name

You're a group chat ghost and the thread won't let it go

Typing, typing, typing — and nobody's typing though

[Bridge]

I'm not mad, I'm not even sad, I'm just

Checking if you checked us

(Are you checking if we checked you?)

I'm not mad, I'm not even sad, I'm just

Keeping the seat open

Typing, typing, typing

[Final Chorus]

You're a group chat ghost and I still save your space

Nine became eight became a habit I can't name

You're a group chat ghost — hey, if you ever show

Typing, typing, typing — we're all still typing though

(Nobody's typing though)

[Outro]

Typing, typing, typing
