Phone Glow

Track 3 from The Unseen Chorus (A Gay Musical)

Full Lyrics

The room is dark
His breath beside me
But in my hand
A world he doesn't see

Phone glow on my skin tonight
Typing words I know aren't right
Told him sleep but here I stay
One more swipe and I'm miles away

It's just a message
Just a look
Just a stranger's face
But my heart beats faster than it should

I lie with love asleep beside me
Eyes locked on the screen to guide me
Just one thrill I can't deny
The phone glow hides the first big lie
First big lie

Thumb keeps scrolling eyes run dry
Every profile just another try
Fingers ache but I can't let go
Lost inside the endless glow

It's nothing just a game I say
Tomorrow I'll be good today

Tomorrow never comes
And neither does the truth

I lie with love asleep beside me
Eyes locked on the glow that blinds me
Every swipe a truth I defy
The phone glow burns with every lie

Phone glow fades when morning comes
But the guilt still lingers on
Two of us but I'm already gone
The lie still whispers before the dawn
