Taylor Tribute

I open the app like a bad habit
Still expecting you to be mad about something
Your @ feels like a ghost town
And I hate how quiet it is

You used to tweet like you were bleeding
Jokes sharp enough to keep us breathing
Ratios turned into confessionals
You made the mess feel professional
I'd scroll and feel less insane
Like someone else felt it the same

I saw myself in every post
Every I'm fine that meant the most
If I felt it, you felt it deeper
We were both running from the same fever

Are you finally weightless now, Taylor?
'Cause I was chasing silence too
Nicole, your name still hits me sober
Like I'm staring at the truth
I knew that pull, I felt that pressure
Same escape, different nights
You logged out trying to feel better
Now you're written in my mind
Written in my mind
Still refreshing, still–

No new tweets, and it feels illegal
Like the world kept going but missed the sequel
Your drafts died with your phone
Now the timeline's on its own
I catch myself wanting to reply
To jokes you'll never write

I saw myself in every post
Every I'm fine that meant the most
If I felt it, you felt it deeper
We were both running from the same fever

Are you finally weightless now, Taylor?
'Cause I was chasing silence too
Nicole, your name still hits me sober
Like I'm staring at the truth
I knew that pull, I felt that pressure
Same escape, different nights
You logged out trying to feel better
Now you're written in my mind

I don't wanna glamorize the pain
I just wanna say I knew your face
When the jokes stop working
And the quiet feels unsafe

Are you finally weightless now, Taylor?
'Cause I was chasing silence too
Nicole, your name still hits me sober
Like I'm staring at the truth
I knew that pull, I felt that pressure
Same escape, different nights
You logged out trying to feel better
Now you're written in my mind
Written in my mind
Still refreshing, still–
