After You Call

[Title: AFTER YOU CALL] (Dark R&B / The Weeknd-inspired mood) ⸻ [Intro] Yeah… I been up too late again Same feeling… different night ⸻ Chorus] If you call me tonight, I might fall back in Same mistakes in a different skin I don’t want to want you, but I still do And I hate that it feels like I belong to you If you call me tonight, don’t say too much ‘Cause I break every time that I feel your touch I act like I’m fine, but it’s never true I’m still right here waiting on you [Verse 1] I hear your name in the silence when the room goes still Like it’s hiding in the corners I can never kill You don’t call but I still check my phone like it might Even though I know you’re gone for the night I been moving through hours that don’t feel real Same empty conversations I don’t wanna feel Every place that I go got a memory stain Like your voice still lingers in the back of my brain I tell myself I’m good, I don’t need you around But I’m lying every time that I don’t make a sound ‘Cause the truth hits harder when the lights go low And I see what I lost but I won’t let it go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I try, and I try, but it stays in my head Every word that you said, every line that you left I don’t know how to fix what I never could hold So I keep pretending I’m better alone ⸻ [Chorus] If you call me tonight, I might fall back in Same mistakes in a different skin I don’t want to want you, but I still do And I hate that it feels like I belong to you If you call me tonight, don’t say too much ‘Cause I break every time that I feel your touch I act like I’m fine, but it’s never true I’m still right here waiting on you ⸻ [Verse 2] I been driving slow just to waste some time Passing every place where you used to be mine Radio playing songs that we never fixed Every beat feels like another mix I laugh in the day like I moved on clean But the night tells a truth that I never seen And I swear I can feel you when nobody’s near Like you never really left this atmosphere Now I’m stuck in a loop I don’t wanna escape ‘Cause the pain still feels like a safer place And I know that it’s wrong but I still replay Every moment I told you to stay ⸻ [Outro] Yeah… Maybe I don’t heal like I say I do Maybe I’m still just waiting on you But if you ever call, I won’t pretend I’ll fall right back again Chorus] If you call me tonight, I might fall back in Same mistakes in a different skin I don’t want to want you, but I still do And I hate that it feels like I belong to you If you call me tonight, don’t say too much ‘Cause I break every time that I feel your touch I act like I’m fine, but it’s never true I’m still right here waiting on you
