First Ring
Oh, I know
We have our own versions of how it all went down
But I think that you'd be proud of me, if you'd stuck around
It may take a lifetime till we find some common ground
Guess you meant it when you said you'd never come back to this town
When they ask me how you are, I pretend that we still talk
Rehearse my little script, just like I was taught
I don't hate you for leaving, or for how long you've been gone
You let us become strangers, all I wanted was
Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance
The worst part is you let my ass do the kissing
The worst part, the worst of it all
I'd answer on the first ring but you never call
You never call cause you're never wrong
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night
Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight
I would write you a letter, but I don't have your new address
You took me for a fool, but I'm a fool less and less
I'd send a pigeon or paint your name up in the sky
But you only want my love when it's wearing a disguise
You blame me for leaving, but you know I couldn't stay
Between my tongue and your ego, there was nowhere left to lay
And I would write you a song but my mouth gets so dry
Every time we're in the same room, every time you say goodbye
Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance
The worst part is you let my ass do the kissing
The worst part, the worst of it all
I'd answer on the first ring but you never call
You never call cause you're never wrong
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night
Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight
Would you rather I blame you
Or is it harder that I won't
Would you rather I hate you?
Or is it harder that I don't
You never call, and I'm done taking the fall
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I would move mountains just for you to ask a question
But I'm done begging for your simple affection
I don't mean to push you farther
I guess I'm just your ungrateful daughter
We have our own versions of how it all went down
But I think that you'd be proud of me, if you'd stuck around
It may take a lifetime till we find some common ground
Guess you meant it when you said you'd never come back to this town
When they ask me how you are, I pretend that we still talk
Rehearse my little script, just like I was taught
I don't hate you for leaving, or for how long you've been gone
You let us become strangers, all I wanted was
Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance
The worst part is you let my ass do the kissing
The worst part, the worst of it all
I'd answer on the first ring but you never call
You never call cause you're never wrong
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night
Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight
I would write you a letter, but I don't have your new address
You took me for a fool, but I'm a fool less and less
I'd send a pigeon or paint your name up in the sky
But you only want my love when it's wearing a disguise
You blame me for leaving, but you know I couldn't stay
Between my tongue and your ego, there was nowhere left to lay
And I would write you a song but my mouth gets so dry
Every time we're in the same room, every time you say goodbye
Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance
The worst part is you let my ass do the kissing
The worst part, the worst of it all
I'd answer on the first ring but you never call
You never call cause you're never wrong
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night
Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight
Would you rather I blame you
Or is it harder that I won't
Would you rather I hate you?
Or is it harder that I don't
You never call, and I'm done taking the fall
I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all
I would move mountains just for you to ask a question
But I'm done begging for your simple affection
I don't mean to push you farther
I guess I'm just your ungrateful daughter
