Call Out My Name

I can hear you call out my name but your voice can't be heard
Heartbreak plays with your mind, and I'm trying to avoid all this hurt 
What did I do to deserve all of this pain? 
Music at full volume because I don't want to hear you call out my name

Pillow soaking from tears I cried alone
Did you steal my heart or did i allow you inside my home? 
I'm unsure which, because it all seems a blur
One thing about a poet is we always mean our words

I told you there's a beauty behind the madness so I took you to kiss land on the weekend 
You should understand that line because you know I listen to Weeknd when I'm bleeding 
His music seems more relatable than ever right now
I'll find happiness, But I don't want better right now 

I learned your body functions and took the time to please you
Maybe we weren't on the same page, But I still had the mind to read you 
Did I show too much, Should I have kept my feelings to myself? 
My bandages ripped, now I'm trying to heal without help

I had no right to fall in love with you, I take the blame
But you had no right to lead me on and play with my brain
We're both at fault, but I'm the only one willing to admit this
Girl, Pride is a dangerous thing, but don't call me when you realise I'm who you miss

Because I Can't go through this type of hurt again
Vodka without a mixer so I feel it more
Drinking it straight from the bottle I Don't even want to pour
I need to erase these memories I'm tired of hearing you call out my name
