I got skeletons in my phone
hope they don't reach out and kill me
Memories wrapped up in screens
Echoes of our history
(Verse 1)
Scrollin' through old texts, can't let go
Every message a ghost, and it just won’t show
You said you’d stay forever but now it’s just a lie
Every ding of my phone brings a tear to my eye
(Chorus)
Skeletons in my phone, they keep haunting me
Whispers from the past, begging not to be free
Can’t delete what we had, it’s deep in my memory
Skeletons in my phone, part of my melody
(Verse 2)
Late nights spent talkin', laughing 'til we cried
Now those moments play back like a twisted ride
Old photos and places that we used to go
I can’t shake your shadow, everywhere I go
(Chorus)
Skeletons in my phone, they keep haunting me
Whispers from the past, begging not to be free
Can’t delete what we had, it’s deep in my memory
Skeletons in my phone, part of my melody
(Bridge)
Scrolling through the fallout, I’m caught in this loop
Every notification pulls me back in that group
I see your face in the pixels, it’s starting to sting
Swore I’d never look back, but oh, what did you bring?
(Chorus)
Skeletons in my phone, they keep haunting me
Whispers from the past, begging not to be free
Can’t delete what we had, it’s deep in my memory
Skeletons in my phone, part of my melody
(Outro)
So I fight the urge to hit that reply
But the skeletons linger, no matter how hard I try
I’ll delete the old convo, but the feelings still roam
These skeletons in my phone, they just bring me back home.
