Telephone Lines
Losing you was a slow and burning timeline
And I could tell I disconnected from my lifeline
Did you feel as if you were confined?
I’m sorry, I truly thought we were meant to a line
Whenever we were together, I radiated sunshine
Now I’m calling hotlines
Feeling like every one of your jokes ends with me as the punchline
Was I not a sweet enough clementine?
When was I as tasteless as stale red wine?
Was I not a pretty enough valentine?
Even thinking of you is like being hit by a power line
From the second you and I were distanced by a minus sign
You were no longer mine
I knew I was killed off from your storyline
Ring, Ring, Ring, I’m calling your mainline
Please Answer, Answer, Answer I don’t want to be declined
