missed your calls

missed your calls lyrics

Intro

Six seconds on the clock
Phone face down
Piano in the dark
Bass in the walls

Verse 1

I got home with the doorman's nod
Same key, same hall, same quiet spot
Checked my screen like it owed me something
Three bars lit, then nothing

Your side of the bed still folded neat
I left that scarf on the cedar seat
Bought you a bracelet on the way back
Funny how that don't call you back

Pre-Chorus

I don't say much
You know that
I buy things first
Then I go flat

I left the door on latch
Left my pride on read
Now it's just me
And the glow off my bed

Chorus

you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect
you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect

Verse 2

I saw your name in the missed-call grave
Then I watched it fade, I behaved
Tried to act cool with the shower on
Like I didn't know what went wrong

Money in the drawer, car outside
Every little thing I used to hide
Got expensive walls, got a quiet place
Still can't buy the words I erase

Pre-Chorus

I don't say much
You know that
I pay for the room
Then stand back

No apology
No big scene
Just the cold blue light
And what I mean

Chorus

you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect
you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect

Bridge

Maybe I liked it better
When you still reached out first
Maybe all that silver
Just made the silence worse

I keep my voice low
Let the hurt stay dressed
But I know what it is
When a woman learns less

Chorus

you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect
you stopped calling after 2am
guess somebody finally taught you self-respect

Outro

I checked again at two
Just to see if I'd missed it
Phone still cold in my hand
Guess I finally did it
