Verses:
Pre Chorus and bridge: (2x)
Chorus:
Verse 1:
I m just trying to call you, to tell you not to call me,
But it keeps going straight to the machine,
Ooh I m just trying to reach you to tell you I don t need you,
Any less than you don t need me,
Pre Chorus:
But it just rings,
and it rings,
and it rings some more.
And memories of you and me, come crashing through my door,
Chorus:
Let me tell you I m leaving so I can cut this chord, or else
My heart ll keep on beating forever more.
Verse 2:
I m not looking to blame you, not looking to shame you,
Shame on me, it s my second time, ooh of,
Going too far, confusing the space with freedom but freedom s inside,
And so I sing, and I sing, and I sing some more,
A melody swallows me and lifts me from the floor,
Let me tell you I m leaving so I can cut this chord,
Or else my heart ll keep on beating forever more.
Brigde:
Oh, it takes time, I thought this was right,
I thought this was something we both liked,
I would have stayed if you would have asked, but now,
The heartbreak songs are back, it s how I get over you.
It s why I write, emotion boiling up inside,
When it s this close I can t divide my heart and my mind.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [4x]
So I m just trying to call you to tell you not to call me,
But it keeps going straight to the machine.
