After The Tone

After the tone, you said my name.
The words were right, but nothing changed.
After the tone, I heard you cry.
I held my breath and said goodbye.
Goodbye then.
Mm. Mm. Your number close, I let it ring.
We broke apart in little things.
After the tone, you said my name.
The words were right, but nothing changed.
After the tone, I heard you cry.
I held my breath and I said goodbye.
Goodbye.
Mm. Oh. Oh. Ooh. Ooh. The message saved, a quiet room.
I used to wait to hear from you.
I heard you. I heard you. I heard you.
I heard you. But I can't go back to you.
Back to you.
Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Mm. You found the words I needed then,
but we can't be what we were again.
