One Call

(Verse 1)

I called…

That’s the worst

’Cause you barely could speak even a word

Yeah, I called…

For your love

All I heard was phone static, oh that buzz

It’s stuck inside my head

What do I need?

How do you care so little about me?

Can’t you see

I’m so broken?

(Pre-Chorus)

I tried to scream outside

But the words were locked away

Every feeling trapped inside

With nothing left to say

I felt so very alone…

(Chorus)

But I called

When you gave me nothing at all

Just silence on the line

While I waited for your call

And I tried

To keep you close somehow

But your quiet said the truth

That I’m finally hearing now

Your silence meant more to me

Than anything you’d say

And I called…

But you were already miles away

(Verse 2)

I know now

Since I’ve found my home

I don’t have to face the world alone

Your silence said enough

More than words you ever gave

Every empty moment

Was a lesson I had to save

Oh I tried

To keep you near

But the truth would hide

And disappear

And though I loved you

More than I should’ve

I wouldn’t take it back

Even if I could’ve

(Chorus)

Yeah I called

When you gave me nothing at all

Just silence on the line

While I waited for your call

And I tried

To believe somehow

But your quiet said the truth

That I’m finally hearing now

Your silence meant more to me

Than anything you’d say

And I called…

But you were already miles away

(Bridge)

Now I’ve learned

To trust myself

Even when the pain still hits my chest

Sometimes it’s hard

Not to hurt myself

With the words I keep instead

No one’s really to blame

You didn’t help, but I won’t hold the shame

That was the past

I’m way past that

I’ve grown

I stood on my own

Took care of myself

Became someone I’ve never known

The words once trapped

Inside my head

Are finally free

Now they’ve been said

(Final Chorus)

’Cause I called

When you gave me nothing at all

Just silence on the line

While I waited for your call

And I tried

But I see it now

Your silence was the answer

I just didn’t know how

Your silence meant more to me

Than anything you’d say

And I called…

But I’m the one

Who finally walked away
