[Intro][Muted Guitar + Brush Snare]
Voicemail tone… “It’s me. If you’re awake… listen.”
[Verse]
I taught the door to slam before I learned to stay,
Threw little words like knives that never fade away.
Your jacket on the chair still smells like summer rain,
I dance around the truth but step right into pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every streetlight asks me “why’d you run?”
Echoes answer back what I’ve done.
If pride was the lock, I turned it tight—
now I’m begging the night.
[Chorus][Diva Belts + Horn Hits]
I was wrong—say it loud, say it clear,
If there’s mercy in your heart, bring it here.
I’d rewind every fight, every tear,
Call it back, call it back, my dear.
I was wrong—let the beat testify,
Hands to the sky as the choir replies.
If a sorry can sing, let mine fly—
Call it back, call it back tonight.
[Post-Chorus][Falsetto Riffs]
Oh—oh—oh, I’m calling… I’m calling you back.
[Verse 2]
Your shadow on the wall keeps trying on my shame,
Records spin our memories—I’m skipping on your name.
I said I needed space then hated all that air,
What’s a room full of gold when you’re not there?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every mirror makes me face the truth,
I wore thunder when you needed proof.
If love is a bridge, I burned it bright—
I’m here with the light.
[Beat Switch][Halftime Breakdown • Piano + 808 Sub]
[Bridge][Breakdown → Rebuild; Gospel Stacks enter]
Take my armor, take my crown,
Take the walls—I’ll tear them down.
Let me carry what I dropped,
Let me learn where I once stopped.
If forgiveness has a door,
leave it cracked—I’ll cross the floor.
[Rap/Spoken Tag • Intimate]
No excuses—just facts:
I hurt you, I want you back.
If you need time, take mine—
I’ll wait on the line.
[Final Chorus][Key Lift + Full Choir]
I was wrong—say it loud, say it clear,
If there’s mercy in your heart, bring it here.
I’d rewind every fight, every tear,
Call it back, call it back, my dear.
I was wrong—let the night testify,
Hands to the sky as the horns reply.
If a sorry can soar, let mine fly—
Call it back, call it back tonight.
[Big Finish][Stop-Time Hit → Sustained Belt]
Band drops—one note held—“I’m sorry”…
horn swell… release.
