I hate the dial tone
And I hate the 'you have reached' before I hang up the phone
The silence between us is not golden
And every step I take is heavy with burden
You ignore me so you can move on
But I know your heart is screaming to hold on
Because my heart is screaming too and kicking me in the chest to try and reach you
The sound of your voice would be so sweet to my ears
And knowing you're alright would be all I need to hear
Because knowing your happy would help me get by
I would tell you I'm okay too even though its a lie
I would end the conversation with an I love you
And you would say you love me too
Then we would hang up and go back to living like we never knew
