[Intro – spoken softly, almost whispered]
Yeah… I know you think about me when it gets quiet.
But I’m not the one you reach for anymore, remember?
You made that choice.
So when the silence hits… don’t call me.
(“Mmm-hmm… yeah… don’t call me…”)
⸻
[Verse 1]
When you miss me, don’t call, don’t text,
Reach for the ones who helped you forget.
You let their voices drown out mine,
Now live with the choice you made this time.
(“You made your bed, baby…”)
I was solid through your storms,
Loved you through your chaos and your pride.
But you traded truth for cheap applause,
Now you’re lonely on the other side.
(“Oh, you lonely now…”)
⸻
[Chorus]
When the silence starts to bite,
And the dark feels way too quiet,
Don’t call me (“no, no, no”).
Let the ones you ran to hold you tight,
They can keep your heart tonight —
Don’t call me. (“Don’t you dare, don’t you dare…”)
⸻
[Verse 2]
I was there when no one showed,
Built you up when you were low.
Now you chase what fades by dawn,
But I’m the love that’s really gone.
(“You gon’ miss me when it’s real…”)
⸻
[Bridge]
You wanted noise, not something true,
Now every sound reminds you of you.
You lost your peace, you lost your calm,
You lost the woman who held it down.
(“You did… you really did.”)
⸻
[Verse 3 – emotional build]
I gave my all, you gave excuses,
Now you’re learning what the truth is.
Every lie you told bought you space,
Now look who’s standing in your place.
(“Yeah, it’s quiet now, huh?”)
⸻
[Final Chorus]
When the silence starts to bite,
And the dark feels way too quiet,
Don’t call me. (“No, no…”)
Let the ones you ran to hold you tight,
They can keep your heart tonight —
Don’t call me.
(“Don’t call me, baby… it’s too late now…”)
⸻
[Outro – spoken / ad-libs fade out]
Nah… you don’t get to miss me now.
You had real… and you let it go.
So when the silence gets heavy,
Don’t call me.
(“Don’t call me… don’t call me…”)
