First Ring

we have our own versions of how it all went down but I think that you'd be proud of me, if you'd stuck around it may take a lifetime till we find some common ground, guess you meant it when you said you'd never come back to this town When they ask me how you are, I pretend that we still talk Rehearse my little script, just like I was taught I don't hate you for leaving, or how long you've been gone You let us become strangers, all I wanted was Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance, the worst part is you let my ass do the kissing, The worst part, the worst of it all, I'd answer on the first ring but you never call You never call cause you're never wrong I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight I would write you a letter, but I don't have your new address You took me for a fool, but I'm a fool less and less I'd send a pigeon or paint your name up in the sky But you only want my love if it's wearing a disguise Oh you blame me for leaving, but you know I couldn't stay Between my tongue and your ego, there was nowhere left to lay And I would write you a song but my mouth gets so dry When we're standing in the same room, every time you say goodbye Oh the worst part is you don't mind the distance, the worst part is you let my ass do the kissing, The worst part, the worst of it all, I'd answer on the first ring but you never call You never call cause you're never wrong I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all I'd answer on the first ring in the middle of the night Even though our last conversation was a stupid fight Would you rather I blame you Or is it harder that I won't Would you rather I hate you? Or is it harder I don't You never call, and I am done taking the fall, I'd answer on the first ring like no time had passed at all I would move mountains just for you to ask a question But I'm done begging for simple affection, I don't mean to push you farther, I guess I'm just your ungrateful daughter
