When The Calls Over

VERSE 1

You talk like nothing ever changed

Like I didn’t feel the distance fade

Every laugh a second late

Every word a taped replay

You say “hey” like it’s brand new

Like I didn’t already lose you

I hear static in your tone

Even when you’re not alone

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

You fill the silence just to breathe

But you never stayed with me

I watch the screen light up and glow

Already knowing how this goes

⸻

CHORUS

When the call’s over, so are we

Your voice don’t hit me like it used to

When the call’s over, I feel free

I don’t miss you — I miss who you were

⸻

VERSE 2

You only ring when something’s wrong

When the night feels way too long

I became your safe escape

You never asked if I was okay

Every promise stayed unclear

Every truth just disappeared

I don’t argue, I don’t fight

I just let the phone go quiet

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

You say “don’t go,” under your breath

But you already left

If I sound cold, it’s just the truth

I learned what silence really does

⸻

CHORUS

When the call’s over, so are we

No more holding broken pieces

When the call’s over, I can breathe

I don’t miss you — I miss believing

⸻

BRIDGE

(beat drops, soft synth pulse)

I stayed on the line too long

Waiting for a sign that never came

Now I hear the dial tone

And it finally sounds like peace

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (LOWER, EMOTIONAL)

When the call’s over, let it end

No more maybe, no pretend

When the call’s over, I’m okay

Some goodbyes don’t need a name

⸻

OUTRO

“And that’s what happened.”
