i'm calling to say im sorry
and that i made a huge mistake
i just wanna say don't worry
the pain was too much to take

i wait for you to answer
as the tears flow down my face
i wait for you to tell me
that it's all gonna be okay

scratchy voice over the phone
the recorder saying nobody's home
that's the pickup on the other line,
repeating over for the 3rd damn time

noone answers
nobody's home
they say you have so many chances
to let your loved one know

in hopes that he might answer
and he was only out for a while
i pick up and dial his home
and wait for him to say 'hello'

scratchy voice over the phone
the recorder saying nobody's home
that's the pickup on the other line,
repeating over for the 3rd damn time

i blew my chance
i missed my turn
my boy is gone
and i have nowhere to run
