Dial Tone

from Requiem by 800 Octane

/

lyrics

Well I got a call from you the other day . We exchanged the basic pleasantries . Like "How are you?" . "Okay" . But I could tell just from the tremble in your voice . That you were not really happy . Never had a choice . When times were right . I was always wrong . A piece was always lost . I never had the time to complete the song And when you left that night . I continued on . And here I am today . Holding on to you via telephone . Now all I've got . Is dial tone . Well you never really told me why you called . Maybe it was just to show me . That this was all my fault . Because I know the thought has often crossed my mind . And when you wanted to move forward . I got scared and left behind . Just so you know . Should never have let you go . So say I told you so And I have often cursed the day that . I lost you from my life . And I will often count the ways that . I could have made things right . And then as I hung up the phone . I thought how this still hurts . But maybe someday you'll come home . And maybe someday . I will find the words
