Three weeks of silence, I memorized your name
On a missed call list, like nothing really changed
Rehearsed the words a hundred times in my head
"Hey, it's been a while" simple, but hard to say instead
Typing, deleting, starting the call, hanging up
Coward's hour, 2 AM, courage running out of luck
The sign's off my door now, I let the noise back in
So why's this the hardest thing I've tried to begin
I swear I will this time, hand shaking on the phone
'Cause staying quiet hurts worse than feeling alone
So ring, ring, pick it up before I lose my nerve
I'm calling you back
Turned the phone face up that's step one, I guess
Took the sign down, took a breath, took a mess
Of everything I wrote in that stupid song
And found one sentence that was true all along
Maybe it's not the silence that I was scared to break
Maybe it's just you, and what you might say
But "maybe" kept me in that room three weeks
So I'm done with maybe. I'm pressing the green.
I swear I will this time, hand shaking on the phone
'Cause staying quiet hurts worse than feeling alone
So ring, ring, pick it up before I lose my nerve
I'm calling you back
If you don't pick up, that's okay that's not why
I'm not calling for an answer, I'm calling to try
The wall's still there, I just found the door
And I'm standing in it now, not behind it anymore
I swear I will this time, hand shaking on the phone
'Cause staying quiet hurts worse than feeling alone
Ring, ring say something, anything, I'll take it
I'm calling you back
