[Intro]
Phone lit up
Same name, same sting
Thumb on decline
Let it ring, let it ring
[Verse 1]
You only call when you’re lonely
When your halo starts to slip
Say you’ve changed for the hundredth time
Same script, same guilt trip
Heart been bleeding in private
You show up for the show
You say, “Answer, it’s important”
I say, “Yeah, I bet, I know”
I was begging for a text back
You were busy playing god
Now you hear the tone in my silence
That’s the sound of moving on
New scars, same number
But my patience got erased
You taught me how to hate my love
Now feel that echo in your face
[Chorus]
Missed calls, let it ring, let it ring
You don’t get to pull my strings
You can cry, you can scream, you can sing
But you’re talking to a dead thing
Missed calls, let it ring, let it ring
All that poison on your tongue, I’m clean
You can beg, you can plead, same thing
I’m a ghost when your phone starts to sing
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
You blew bridges like it’s nothing
Then you circle back through smoke
Say you’re standing at my doorstep
But that lie’s your favorite joke
I got receipts in my camera roll
All the nights you disappeared
All the days you said you loved me
Then you vanished, left me weird
Now you dialing like a siren
At 3 a.m. on cue
You want closure, you want comfort
You want me to rescue you
[half-sung]
I’m not your last-second lifeline
Not your soft place to fall
You taught me how to hate myself
Now hear the busy in that wall
[Chorus]
Missed calls, let it ring, let it ring
You don’t get to pull my strings
You can cry, you can scream, you can sing
But you’re talking to a dead thing
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
You said I’d always answer
Funny how that aged
Now my peace is on “Do Not Disturb”
Your voice stays caged
[full voice, crescendo]
You had a kingdom in my chest
Burned it down for a fling
Now every time your number flashes
I just let it, let it ring
[Chorus]
