Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's 4 AM and I'm not drunk enough To forget the way I called your bluff I said some things, you said some things Now I'm just staring at my phone screen [Pre-Chorus] I pressed record, I pressed send Now I'm pressing delete again [Chorus] I'm listening to the voicemail I should've deleted Hearing all the words I wish I never said You sound so calm, I sound so broken Screaming at a ghost in my own bed I'm playing it on repeat Punishing myself complete With the voicemail I should've deleted But I keep, but I keep, but I keep... [Verse 2] You didn't call back — that says it all I built a bridge and watched it fall Into the river, into the dark Now I'm just talking to my own heart [Pre-Chorus] I pressed record, I pressed send Now I'm pressing delete again [Chorus] I'm listening to the voicemail I should've deleted Hearing all the words I wish I never said You sound so calm, I sound so broken Screaming at a ghost in my own bed I'm playing it on repeat Punishing myself complete With the voicemail I should've deleted But I keep, but I keep, but I keep... [Bridge — stripped, raw] Maybe one day I'll let it go Maybe one day I won't need to know What I sound like when I'm alone Begging someone to come home... [Final Chorus — building, desperate] I'm listening to the voicemail I should've deleted Hearing all the words I wish I never said You sound so calm, I sound so broken Screaming at a ghost in my own bed I'm playing it on repeat Punishing myself complete With the voicemail I should've deleted But I keep... I keep... [Outro — phone beep, silence] [You have... one... saved message...] [To replay, press one...] [To delete, press two...]
