Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
Verse 1:
Met a boy named Jonas, on a starry Tuesday night
His smile was like a promise, his eyes a shining light
We talked 'til the morning, felt like we'd known for years
But when the sun came up, began the trail of tears
Chorus:
Oh Jonas, you had me dreaming wide
But dreams fade into day, and you just hide
I reached for you twice, but you slipped away
Now I'm letting go, Jonas, it's your lonely play
Verse 2:
Second time around, thought you'd catch me when I fall
But silence was your answer, when my heart gave you a call
I wondered what went wrong, as I walked the empty streets
Was it something that I said, or just your silent retreat?
Retreat
Bridge:
They say third time's a charm, but not for you and me
I opened up the door, but you chose not to see
Now I'm walking forward, while you're standing still
Missed your chance with me, guess you never will
[Instrumental interlude, deep bittersweet notes and bass]
[Music picks up and wider band starts playing]
Jonas, you're a riddle, wrapped in your own fears
A ghost in the daylight, then you reappear
Are you lost in another's arms, or just lost in your head?
Your silence speaks volumes, leaves so much unsaid
Chorus:
Oh Jonas, with your on and off charade
You're a master of confusion, in this game you've played
I reached out to find you, but you're a shifting shade
Now I'm stepping back, Jonas, in the bed you've made
Verse 4:
Just when I think it's over, you're knocking at my door
A text out of the blue, leaves me wanting more
But I see through the facade, of your hit and run
I'm done decoding, what you've become
Chorus:
Oh Jonas, you're a flicker, not a flame
I'm tired of your puzzle, tired of your game
I reached out to find you, but it's always the same
I'm letting go, Jonas, I won't play your game
Outro:
So here's to mixed signals, and the toll they take
To the Jonases of the world, who can't communicate
I'm moving on to clearer skies, where love doesn't wait
Goodbye Jonas, you're too late.

Your silence speaks volumes, leaves so much unsaid
