Don't Hang Up
I apologize for calling
I know it's awful late
But my mind's all set to racing
And I had to get it straight
I thought maybe if you listened
I'd try not to lie
And anyway your phone's
The only one I've memorized
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
And I can't do this alone
Darlin, don't hang up the telephone
I call myself an artist,
But I could never write a thing
That wasn't someone else's problem
Made to dance on a shoestring,
I scrape my own beginnings
From the dregs of greater lives,
And I hide beneath my headphones
Anytime the guilt arrives
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
And I can't do this alone
Darlin, don't hang up the telephone
Will I ever dig down deep enough
To give you something real?
Or is this 3am confession
The most I'll ever feel?
I'm selfish, and I'm sorry
There's nothing you can do
I should never share my darkness
With someone as bright as you
Yes, I'll try to get some sleep,
No, I swear, I'm fine,
And if I call again tonight
Don't pay it any mind
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
But I can't do this alone
So darlin, don't hang up the telephone
Please don't hang up the telephone
I know it's awful late
But my mind's all set to racing
And I had to get it straight
I thought maybe if you listened
I'd try not to lie
And anyway your phone's
The only one I've memorized
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
And I can't do this alone
Darlin, don't hang up the telephone
I call myself an artist,
But I could never write a thing
That wasn't someone else's problem
Made to dance on a shoestring,
I scrape my own beginnings
From the dregs of greater lives,
And I hide beneath my headphones
Anytime the guilt arrives
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
And I can't do this alone
Darlin, don't hang up the telephone
Will I ever dig down deep enough
To give you something real?
Or is this 3am confession
The most I'll ever feel?
I'm selfish, and I'm sorry
There's nothing you can do
I should never share my darkness
With someone as bright as you
Yes, I'll try to get some sleep,
No, I swear, I'm fine,
And if I call again tonight
Don't pay it any mind
It cost me, it cost me
I can't believe I tried
It cost me, I lost me
When the ink had dried
It cost me, it cost me
But I can't do this alone
So darlin, don't hang up the telephone
Please don't hang up the telephone
