this is the story about a man who is struggling with his own wrongs to a woman |
Payphone Payphone The night is calm, so is my heart but I'm wonderin' still if we were meant to part... and yet I think, as I wait for the sun... I wonder if it was right to have done what I've done.... yeah, all I have’s a payphone and a heart I need to mend maybe if I call you I can finally live again.... I slip into the payphone and dial it for you as I wait for you to answer I hope you miss me too... I remember your birthday, you were turning thirty-one I heard nobody remembered, I still don't know why I didn't come I hate myself for all these things, for the things I did to you I want to reach out and hold you close but I know it's something I can't do. yeah, all I have’s a payphone and a heart I need to mend maybe if I call you I can finally live again.... I know that you got married, you got married all alone after that you graduated had enough money to buy a home and all I can do is make a call I'm just a shadow, just a shadow not a person at all.... just a shadow, not a person at all.. I heard you had no children he left you too soon, it seems and I know that was the greatest thing that shattered all your dreams I hate myself for being that man, a man with a heart of stone, I left you in the world to wander, shattered, all alone yeah, all I have’s a payphone and a heart I need to mend maybe if I call you I can finally live again.... I'm hoping if I call you, somehow that will make it right, but I know that that's impossible as I stare out into the night because I heard you died of cancer I heard you died alone oh, baby you don't know how much I need to call you, to talk to an empty phone I need to tell you everything! to tell you how I feel because I'm just a shadow in a world that's barely real yeah, all I have’s a payphone and a heart I need to mend maybe if I call you you can finally live again.... you can finally live again... maybe if I call you, you can finally live again. but I know that you are gone as I think of all the things I'd say if you were still there to listen, and my last quarter slips away. |
