Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
Nah…
I know exactly who it is.
And that’s the problem.
You only hit my line when the night get cold
When the room get quiet and the truth unfolds
When the friends go home and the drinks wear off
And the confidence you fake starts breakin’ apart
Got my name in your phone but I’m “don’t answer”
Got my heart in your hands like a bad habit
Tell yourself every day that you’re done with me
Then you call after midnight and let it happen
I can hear it in your voice when you say “what’s up”
You ain’t call just to talk, you ain’t call for luck
You ain’t call cause you’re bored, you ain’t call by chance
You called cause nobody else got a second glance
And I know cause I’m guilty of the same damn thing
Every time that you call I feel everything
Every fight, every tear, every slammed door
Every promise we made then ignored
I should let it ring
Let it die
Let it fade away tonight
But my hand’s on the screen
And my mind ain’t right
I should decline it
I know where this goes every time it starts
Turn one conversation into broken hearts
Turn one little “hey” into all night long
Turn a memory into another song
I should decline it
But your voice got a way of pullin’ me back
Like the smoke from a fire I thought went black
If it’s really goodbye like you always claim
Why you still callin’ my name?
You ask how I’ve been and I lie through my teeth
Say life’s been good and I’m finally free
But the truth is I still got your hoodie here
And your pictures buried somewhere underneath
Everything that I swore I’d delete by now
Everything that I swore I don’t need right now
Funny how time don’t heal what people say
Sometimes it just teaches pain how to stay
You tell me you’re talking to somebody new
Then get mad when I say I’ve been talking too
Girl, what are we doing? What game is this?
Why we acting like strangers after all this?
We go from laughter to anger in twenty minutes
Then silence fillin’ every second that’s unfinished
Both of us know what we should do
Neither of us wanna do it
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
I stare at the screen
Like maybe this time’ll be different
Like maybe this time
We won’t end up exactly where we always do
But we do
I should decline it
I should let your number fade into the dark
Stop reopening wounds that barely got scars
Stop mistaking lonely nights for being in love
Stop believing maybe we’ll be enough
I should decline it
But every time I see your name appear
All the distance disappears
And every lesson I learned gets lost again
The second I hear
“Hey…”
Ring…
Ring…
…
Hello?
