lyrics

VERSE 1

I know I’ve been a little distant
But the thought of you is a little different now
And you should know it’s not your fault

I know I told you not to worry
I don’t know what I’m even sorry about
And maybe there’s nothing at all

I tried to explain but the words left me behind
Will you even listen this time?

CHORUS

Tell me if you can
Please pick up the phone
No matter what I tell you, don’t leave me alone

Tell me if you can
Just a quick hello
You’re one of the few things that could ever bring me home

Could ever bring me home

VERSE 2

I know you hoped that it’d be different
I did what I could to cut the distance down
And at this point it’s not my fault

You know I’m trying figure it out
We both know I’m lying to you right now
And if you want to stay, it’s your call

I tried not to need you and leave it all behind
Will you even miss me this time?

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE

Someday you’ll admit that you need a better friend
Someday I’ll admit that I’ve wanted this to end
So tell me one more time that you’ll be right here by my side
For long enough for you to turn away, I’ll be fine

[CHORUS]
