Waiting By The Phone

[Verse 1]
Oh love… I feel like I was lost
Somewhere in the things you never said
I keep replaying every word
Trying to find the ones you meant
Every time the quiet gets too loud
That’s the time you don’t pick up the phone
I hold the silence like it’s proof
Of everything I’ve come to know

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you weren’t feeling well
But you never let me in
What have you been on, my love?
Where do you go when the lights go dim?

[Chorus]
Oh love… I feel like I was lost
From the moment you stopped letting me in
I keep reaching for the words we had
But they fall apart before they begin
If you’re somewhere you don’t want me to know
Then say it plain, don’t leave me alone
I can face the truth, however it goes
Just don’t let me wait by the phone

[Verse 2]
Your coat is still behind the door
The one you wore the night we talked
I told myself you needed time
While every answer slowly stopped
Your name still lights my screen at night
But never long enough to stay
I’m learning what the quiet means
And what you couldn’t bring yourself to say

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you weren’t feeling well
But you never let me in
What have you been on, my love?
Where do you go when the lights go dim?

[Chorus]
Oh love… I feel like I was lost
From the moment you stopped letting me in
I keep reaching for the words we had
But they fall apart before they begin
If you’re somewhere you don’t want me to know
Then say it plain, don’t leave me alone
I can face the truth, however it goes
Just don’t let me wait by the phone

[Bridge]
I don’t need a perfect reason
I don’t need you to pretend
Just give this silence a name
And let the waiting end

[Final Chorus]
Oh love… I feel like I was lost
From the moment you stopped letting me in
I kept reaching for the words we had
Now I know where the silence begins
If you’re somewhere you don’t want me to know
I’ll let you go, I won’t hold on
I can face the truth, however it goes
I won’t keep waiting by the phone

[Outro]
I won’t keep waiting by the phone
Oh love… I know
