"Dial Tone" lyrics

When I close my eyes
I can see a ghost from the past
And it cuts just like a knife
Hate to feel like this
But it happens all the time
Said you never understand me
Don't know who I am
Tell me I'm just like your father
I'm not the one who caved in

You disappeared without a trace
You never bothered to explain
You just walked away

All I wanted was an answer
All I needed was to know
Give me a reason
I need a reason
All those messages I left you
All those nights I spent alone
Give me a reason
'Cause all that I hear is
A dial tone

Dial tone

When I close my eyes
I can feel you breathe down my neck
Now I'm only half alive
And I hate that I miss your smile
But it's only half the time
Now I'm up all night
Got me checking my phone for the thousandth time
Told me that you never wanted this to die

You disappeared without a trace
You never bothered to explain
You just walked away

All I wanted was an answer
All I needed was to know
Give me a reason
I need a reason
All those messages I left you
All those nights I spent alone
Give me a reason
'Cause all that I hear is

All I wanted was an answer
All I needed was to know
Give me a reason
I need a reason
All those messages I left you
All those nights I stayed alone
Give me a reason
'Cause I wanna hear it

I wanna hear the way you call to me
When you ever needed help
I never thought you'd be the reason
That I learned to hate myself
I don't care who you love
I don't have nothing to lose
But I just want to say one last thing to you

All I wanted was an answer
All I needed was to know
Give me a reason
I need a reason

All those messages I left you
All those nights I spent alone
Give me a reason
'Cause all that I hear is
A dial tone
