Call Me

Everyday stories never get told

Everyday habits so quickly getting old

I’m too tired to tie myself down

If you wanted me that bad maybe you should’ve hung around

Did I scare you when I said I cared?

Maybe I should’ve lied,

Cause this pillow just won’t hold me

Like you did.

 

So next time you say call me

Maybe you should answer the phone

Cause now my head is ringing and,

I’m still here all alone.

So next time you say call me

You should know that I just won’t

How’s this for I’ll leave a message

Don’t call me back, just don’t.

 

It’s been two weeks and I’ve written seven letters

Won’t send em, don’t you worry, I’ve learned better.

I’m too tired to wait myself down,

You said you wanted me that bad, then didn’t stick around.

Did I scare you when I said that I cared?

Maybe I should’ve lied.

Cause these tissues just don’t pull me through

Like you did when I cried.

 

So next time you say call me

Maybe you should answer the phone

Cause now my head is ringing and,

I’m still here all alone.

So next time you say call me

You should know that I just won’t

How’s this for I’ll leave a message

Don’t call me back, just don’t.

 

Maybe I’d like the sound of voice,

Fill my ears, guide my heart,

Lack of trust, lead to lack of noise,

I’m something you just can’t confront.

But you shouldn’t have said that.

If you didn’t mean that.

 

Did I scare you, when I said I cared?

Should I have lied?

Cause I can’t talk to me.

Like you did.

 

So next time you say call me

Maybe you should answer the phone

Cause now my head is ringing and,

I’m still here all alone.

So next time you say call me

You should know that I just won’t

How’s this for I’ll leave a message

Don’t call me back, just don’t.
