[INTRO | muted bass | distant guitar feedback | single dry kick] Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me when you're scared You always know my number When nobody else is there [VERSE 1 | tense | restrained] You call me at midnight Your voice is shaking again You tell me you're sorry You tell me you need a friend I know what comes next I've heard it before You cry on my shoulder Then walk out the door I say that I'm done You say that you'll change Then I'm picking up pieces Of the same fucking game [PRE-CHORUS | building] And I hate That I know I'll still answer When you call [CHORUS | explosive | huge guitars] Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me when you fall I'm not your fucking lifeline I'm not your cure at all You only need me When you're losing control You take my heart Then leave me with the hole Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me anymore [VERSE 2 | driving | increasingly angry] You know which words to use You know exactly what to say You know I'll forget the damage If you sound afraid You tell me I'm the only one Who ever understood Then disappear for weeks Like you always fucking could I changed my whole life Trying to keep you alive Funny how you needed saving Every time I tried to survive [PRE-CHORUS | harder] And I hate That some part Still wants to Take your call [CHORUS | bigger | layered vocals] Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me when you fall I'm not your fucking lifeline I'm not your cure at all You only need me When you're losing control You take my heart Then leave me with the hole Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me anymore [BRIDGE | stripped | half-time | raw vocal] I wasn't your home I was your hiding place. You didn't love me... You loved knowing I'd stay. [BUILD | drums return] And that's the part I can't forgive Not you... Me. For every time I chose your pain Over my own. [FINAL CHORUS | full force | aggressive guitars | shouted doubles] Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me when you fall I'm not your fucking lifeline I'm not your cure at all You had me once You had everything You don't get to use my love Like an emergency Don't call me when it breaks Don't call me when you're scared You taught me how to leave you By never fucking being there Don't call me... Don't call me... Don't call me anymore. [OUTRO | instruments cut | dry vocal] I hope you're okay. I just can't be the one Who saves you anymore.
