The Tone of your Voice

by Casey   May 29, 2006


I called and I called but you never answered the phone
And by the tone of your voice that day when you left me I should have known
You were distant though you stood close to me
Disguising all your pain from what I could see
But you never would admit it, I knew what was wrong
You may be good at hiding but youre not that strong
And I wish things were different and youd accept my words
Although I know youll redirect your attention so they go unheard
But I love you and this remains the fact
While you lay there staring with your anger intact
Wishing you could just escape those dividing walls
Ready to unplug the phone because I wont stop the calls
Knowing I need you and I just want to talk
But instead of smoothing things out you choose just to walk
And your frustration is so bad that you just cant breath
The more I open my mouth the more your thoughts say leave
So I try to make effort and hold you tight
But you are too pissed for me to make things right
You get so tired and I see it in your eyes
I almost feel worthless which is why I cry
Im waiting for you to reach out and say
Babe I appoligize for the way I acted today
Though I know you dont think your actions are wrong
So the tables turn and im forced to be strong
You may see me as the one whos weak
Because I choose to solve problems and constantly speak
But I know what im doing will work out fine
I just hope its not too late and youll still be mine
Ill admit theres time I should just let go
I just know the more we work out the stronger we grow
But I guess you sometimes need time and space
And in these times theres fears I just have to face
You do teach me lessons and I hope I do the same
I dont want to feel like im just good for the blame
I care about you more than I can express
And I hope our relationship is different after you rest
Im here for you with arms wide open
So dont leave me quiet, make sure your words are spoken
Tell me everything in the moment that you feel
Even if they hurt me just make sure you stay real
And I promise to be there to the day I die
Not because im obligated but its what I feel inside
You make me feel endless and at times with disgust
But Ive forgiven you for everything, even broken trust
I was wounded by you but we still are together
And its going to take more to break us apart than stormy weather
