Call Me


If you leave

Before the sun comes up

Wake me 

I want to be

Wide awake

When I kiss you

If this is the end

Let's stay close

Pretend

It wasn't always meant

To break

 

You feel

Alive

In my arms

I feel you

Miles away

I hate myself

For letting go

I didn't say

All the words in my head

I needed you to know

Had to tell you

Don't go

But instead

I let you leave

Still ache

Can't believe

I let you go

 

Call me

Any time

All hours

I'm wide awake

I'm drowning

In this heart break

Killing myself

Over you

Haven't been sober

For weeks now

Can't eat

Impossible to sleep

Without dreaming

Of you and me

So please

Just call me

 

I cave

Hands in the air

I don't have it in me

I don't care

Pride

All of it

Goes away

The second you fade

I'll take it all back

Every word

I said

I'll say

Every word in my head

That was left unspoken

I'll undo

What has been broken

Because I'm killing myself

Over you

So please

Call me
