Telephone

I’ll show up at your doorstep so you look me in the eye
You don’t get to hide from all those tears I cried
If its over then its over, I won’t give it no more time
But at least give me a moment where I get to say goodbye
Don’t just hide behind a wireless line
You’re a grown man and I thought that you’d know
That I don’t break up on the telephone

A coward hides in darkness and you’re standing in the shade
I’ve realized in your silence that I’m better off this way
If you don’t need the closure, guess I know now where I stood
But after all those years I gave to you, I was hoping that you would

I gave my heart and soul to this (she gave her heart and soul)
But you didn’t do the same
I tried to carry your load on this (she tried to carry your load)
But I could never pull your weight
You gave up, don’t deny you gave up on me
