[chorus]
she's in the dark, in the bedroom alone
i gaze at the stars, for my sins, i've atoned
if you've broken the trust, love gets tossed like a stone
so i'm praying to god that you pick up the phone

[verse 1]
or you could leave me to pick up the pieces, i need Jesus
frequent trips to the back, reckless, feelings deceased its
not easy,
to rise from the ashes like we a phoenix
just for me to posture that i never really mean it
what's the meaning, of all this demeaning and sceney rhetoric
i'm ahead of the curve, but damn sure i ain't heaven-sent
setting the stage, praying we, can turn the page
if you can't, ain't another one to blame, what a shame

[chorus]
she's in the dark, in the bedroom alone
i gaze at the stars, for my sins, i've atoned
if you've broken the trust, love gets tossed like a stone
so i'm praying to god that you pick up the phone

[verse]
i hear the tone ringin', so maybe breathe before you speak
a defeated approach, might be the only way to breach
the boundaries of your heart, otherwise i'm locked out
im counting ways we grew apart, so baby wind the clock down
cause the foundation betrayed, my descent ain't belayed
what took us years to get going, i burned down Rome in a day
so you say, that there's a chance, but you ain't willing to wait
and if i asked you for a dance, up in your eyes i see hate
because fate's a cruel mistress, shot, brother i missed it
the distance between us is growing, you been resistin'
my apologies, i gotta be better, at least i aught to be
instead, yeah this love has been poisoned, toxicology

[chorus]
she's in the dark, in the bedroom alone
i gaze at the stars, for my sins, i've atoned
if you've broken the trust, love gets tossed like a stone
so i'm praying to god that you pick up the phone

just pick up the phone
just pick up the phone
just pick up the phone
just pick up the phone
