Telephone

[Intro] Yeah Phone won’t shut up Neither can my head [Hook] I keep staring at my telephone Like it owes me a fucking apology Ring tone cutting into my bones Every buzz feels like an autopsy Say you'll call but you never do Signal dead like the shit we knew I’m screaming through the dial tone Talking to a telephone [Verse 1] Thumbs cracked, screen lit, 2 AM glow Blue light lies telling me I should let go Read receipts like loaded guns Every “seen” another trigger pulled You say “busy”, you say “soon” But the moon laps me like a wound I pace holes in the living room Waiting on a ghost in my phone booth You promised me truth in a voice note All I got was static and false hope I dial back just to hear the ring Like pain’s got a catchy chorus I know I should cut the cord But silence feels worse than war So I bleed into voicemail bars Leaving pieces of who we are [Pre-Hook] Why do I still wait When you've already gone Why does it hurt more When I'm alone with this tone [Hook] I keep staring at my telephone Like it owes me a fucking apology Ring tone cutting into my bones Every buzz feels like an autopsy Say you'll call but you never do Signal dead like the shit we knew I’m screaming through the dial tone Talking to a telephone [Verse 2] Inbox full of things unsaid Drafts read like suicide notes Not dying, just choking on words That you never bothered to quote You say “it’s complicated” I say “so is breathing lately” Every missed call’s a reminder That I mattered until I didn’t I smash the screen just to feel control Glass bites back like it knows my soul If connection’s a two-way street Why am I screaming in a dead-end zone I replay your laugh like a broken track Pitch warped, slowed, then it cuts to black I hate that I love the sound of you Even when it’s fucking killing me [Breakdown] Call me Hate me Block me Erase me Just don't leave me Ringing in this empty space [Bridge] You said “we’ll talk” You always do You just never say when [Final Hook] I keep staring at my telephone Like it owes me a fucking apology Ring tone cutting into my bones Every buzz feels like an autopsy Say you'll call but you never do Signal dead like the shit we knew I’m screaming through the dial tone Talking to a telephone [Outro] Battery dying Just like us Still waiting For you
