Doeyzz - You Should’ve Answered

[Intro] You called it the last time. Funny… I don’t remember agreeing. [Verse 1] You let my name fade on your screen Like I was someone you could leave Three missed calls, then four, then five Still hoping you’d come back online You think ignoring me means freedom Think silence means we’re finally done But you forgot who taught you How to miss someone You said goodbye like it was easy Like you didn’t know my heart You should’ve known I’d find a way To follow where you are [Pre-Chorus] You can change your number You can shut the door You can tell yourself You don’t want me anymore But every time the night gets quiet And you hear that ringtone… You know exactly who’s calling. [Chorus] You should’ve answered When I called your name Now you’re running from a fire You were the one who made You should’ve answered When I said I missed you Now I’m living in your head Like you wanted me to You can throw away my letters You can delete every trace But you can’t erase the feeling When you see my name You should’ve answered… Now it’s too late. [Verse 2] I know you tell your friends you’re over me Smile like you’ve finally been set free But I know the little things you do When nobody’s watching you You still sleep on my side of the bed Still hear my voice inside your head Still wonder if I’m somewhere Thinking about you instead Maybe I’m the villain in your story Maybe I’m the one you should forget But every villain needs a weakness… And you’re mine. [Pre-Chorus] You can change your number You can shut the door You can swear to God You don’t want me anymore But when the room gets cold around you And you’re lying there alone… You know exactly what you want. [Chorus] You should’ve answered When I called your name Now you’re running from a fire You were the one who made You should’ve answered When I said I missed you Now I’m living in your head Like you wanted me to You can throw away my letters You can delete every trace But you can’t erase the feeling When you see my name You should’ve answered… Now it’s too late. [Bridge] Don’t be afraid. I don’t want your apology. I want the truth. Tell me you still think about me. Tell me you still dream about me. Tell me that when your phone lights up… You still hope it’s me. Silence. There you are. [Breakdown] Ring once. Ring twice. Let it echo through the night. You don’t have to say my name— I already know it’s on your mind. Run away. Close your eyes. Tell yourself that we’re goodbye. But some loves don’t disappear… They learn how to survive. [Final Chorus] You should’ve answered When I called your name Now I’m nothing but a ghost That you can’t escape You should’ve answered When I said I needed you Now every empty room Is gonna sound like me to you You can love somebody else You can wear another’s ring But when your phone starts ringing… You’ll remember everything. You should’ve answered
