I’ve called your number now six times or more and the machine, it keeps picking 
up, I really need to talk to you

As I wait by the phone knowing you won’t answer, I feel stuck, I am hurting, I don’t 
know what I can do

I have no more answers, I have nothing left, I poured out my heart and my soul

If you could not handle it, if you didn’t want the burden of it, I’m sorry it’s taken its 
toll

I pick up the phone and put it back down, what is the use; it is obvious you want 
to be alone

Time moves so slowly now, left with my thoughts and fears, I suppose for my 
sins I must atone

Maybe tomorrow we will talk and I can explain, clear something up and help you 
see

But I get the feeling that, from all the hell I have caused, the last person you want 
to talk to is me
