歌詞

Your name lit up the table

Face down, blue at the edge

The room held one small tremor

Under everything unsaid

My hand was near enough

To turn the night around

One move could bring your voice in

One move could let me drown

You were not the danger

You were only reaching through

I knew that when I watched it

And still kept far from you

The glass kept taking light

The bass kept counting low

I did not want to lose you

But I would not let you know

I let the call go dark

With your name still on the glass

Not because I did not love you

But because I let it pass

I let the call go dark

Like silence had a right

To stand between your breathing

And my cowardice that night

The screen became a mirror

After the glow withdrew

My face looked back in pieces

Where I should have answered you

No ring left in the room

No voice left at the door

Just the kind of quiet

That makes a distance more

I could have called you back

Before the minute died

But time began to gather

On the wrong side of my pride

The longer that I waited

The less I had to say

A simple call behind me

Turned into another day

I let the call go dark

With your name still on the glass

Not because I did not need you

But because the moment passed

I let the call go dark

And made it look like choice

You were only asking for me

I was hiding from your voice

Your voice was not the danger

My silence was the harm

I kept the phone beside me

Like it still could keep you warm

There are ways to leave someone

Without moving from a room

I stayed exactly where I was

And still walked out on you

I let the call go dark

With your name under my hand

You were close enough to reach me

I was too far gone to stand

I let the call go dark

And the night went clean and still

Not because the love was missing

But because I lost the will

The phone stayed on the table

The room forgot the sound

Your name was gone by morning

But the guilt kept flashing down
