every time the phone rings
do you hear me crying?
if I said I can forget you
you know I'd be lying
cuz I hope you'll stop the pain
and you know what I mean
I hope you'll stop playing this game
"what game?"... that's what I mean
playing ignorant is one way
you play it... but you know
you couldn't look me in the eye
and say it... you know...
it is driving me insane
destroying all I've ever been
you hold on to the core of my heart
and won't let me in
please give it back... or let me in
every time the phone rings
I still shed a tear
remembering I still miss you
seeing you're still not near
and looking at my life
seeing all the missing pieces
why do you hold on to what I need
to actualize my releases
you know how it keeps me down
why do you keep me down?
you know how it keeps me down
why?... why?... why?... do you keep me down...
it is taking all my faith
it's a game no one can win
you hold on to the core of my heart
and won't let me in
please give it back... or let me in
every time the phone rings
I hope it is you
calling to resolve the mess
and return what is true
cuz I still believe in you
and it's taking my last breath
once you wanted my life
now you can have my death
pretending you don't understand
is your best defense... but you know
you couldn't look me in the eye
and say it... you know...
it is driving me insane
destroying all I've ever been
you hold on to the core of my heart
and won't let me in
please give it back... or let me in
every time the phone rings
do you hear me crying?
Every Time The Phone Rings
(Do You Hear Me Crying?)
