Late Call

[Verse 1] (soft, almost whispered)

You only show up when you’re lonely,

like I’m the last card in your hand.

You don’t see me when you’re happy,

guess I’ll never understand.

⸻

And I don’t know why I’m still here,

waiting for words I’ll never hear.

⸻

Call me late at night,

tell me that you miss me, but it’s only when you’re bored.

I’m a game you like,

playing with my heart but you never keep the score.

⸻

We talk for hours about nothing,

you leave before the sun can rise.

You keep me hanging like a secret,

that you’ll never recognize.

⸻

[Bridge] (more intimate, low voice)

And I keep telling myself,

I could leave if I wanted…

but I don’t.
