30 Second Goodbye 

[Verse 1]
It was buried in my phone, three years and some days,  
Swiped too fast, then your voice hit play.  
"Hey babe, just calling — call me when you can,"  
That soft hello broke me right where I stand.  
I froze in place, like the moon forgot to shine,  
Felt your warmth pour through that fragile line.  
In a world so loud, that clip cut through the noise,  
And brought me back to you, and all your little joys.  

[Chorus]
Saved the voicemail, saved your sound,  
Like a lighthouse when I'm breaking down.  
You said, “Call me,” and I swear I tried —  
In every dream where you never died.  
Love don’t vanish, even if you're gone,  
It just hums in the silence like a steady song.  
I’m not whole, but I’m holding on tight,  
To a thirty-second love that still feels right.  

[Verse 2]
I’ve been filling up my life with the wrong kind of light,  
Scrollin' through illusions just to make it through the night.  
But hearing you again, it cracked my disguise,  
Made me miss the way you saw through all my lies.  
I told myself I healed, told the world I was fine,  
But that one old message rewound time.  
So I played it again — let the ache be known,  
And cried like I was never on my own.  

[Chorus]
Saved the voicemail, saved your sound,  
Like a lighthouse when I'm breaking down.  
You said, “Call me,” and I swear I tried —  
In every dream where you never died.  
Love don’t vanish, even if you're gone,  
It just hums in the silence like a steady song.  
I’m not whole, but I’m holding on tight,  
To a thirty-second love that still feels right.  

[Verse 3]
Now I talk to the air like you’re still close by,  
Tell you all the truths I used to let slide.  
Sometimes I sing just to feel you near,  
You said, “That voice of yours, it kills, my dear.”  
I boxed my heart, locked it up out of fear,  
But you’re the only reason I’m still here.  
That voicemail sparked the fire again,  
Lit the path from grief back to where I've been.  

[Chorus: Female Vocalist]
Saved the voicemail, saved your sound,  
Like a lighthouse when I'm breaking down.  
You said, “Call me,” and I swear I tried —  
In every dream where you never died.  
Love don’t vanish, even if you're gone,  
It just hums in the silence like a steady song.  
I’m not whole, but I’m holding on tight,  
To a thirty-second love that still feels right.  

Love don’t vanish, even if you're gone,  
It just hums in the silence like a steady song.  
I’m not whole, but I’m holding on tight,  
To a thirty-second love that still feels right.  

Love don’t vanish, even if you're gone,  
It just hums in the silence like a steady song.  
I’m not whole, but I’m holding on tight,  
To a thirty-second love that still feels right.

30 Second Goodbye

[CHORUS]
(Don'tcha get stuck in love with me 
Don'tcha get stuck in love with me) 
Please don't let the sun come up 
And you ain't hopped back outta love 
(Back on out of love with me)

[VERSE I] 
I won't catch you if you fall, but I can love you on your way down.
So you can never say that I kicked your emotions around. 
(You're on the main road, I took a detour) 
So... if you decided to play you know what you're getting into now

[CHORUS]
(Don'tcha get stuck in love with me 
Don'tcha get stuck in love with me) 
Please don't let the sun come up 
And you ain't hopped back outta love 
(Back on out of love with me)

Ooh... wah. 
Sing, Nate Dogg
(Baby don’t chu get stuck... ooh!)

[Verse ii] 
You be in your corner being whatever you wanna 
Butcha cain’t be THAT with me 
I stay being tardy showing up late to the party 
But the jam is guaranteed 
I have no capacity for responsibility (baby, don’tchu get stuck)
I'm still on a journey to discover who I'm coming to be 

[CHORUS]
Don'tcha get stuck in love with me 
Don'tcha get stuck in love with me 
Please don't let the sun come up 
And you ain't hopped back outta love 
(Back on out of love with me)
