Alexander Taso - voicemails Lyrics

Spend forty hours a week with your ear pressed to the phone
Play your voicemails on repeat cause they make you feel less alone
Remind yourself of a moment back when you didn't hate yourself
Now that that moment is over, the best you can hope for is to tolerate yourself
Can't sleep, but I can't get out of bed
Quit coffee cause my life's already bitter
Friends call, but I ghost them all instead
Sick and tired of hearing it will all get better
Wish I could sit down with the old me
I'd tell him"Hi, long time no see"
And I'd apologize for not being what he wanted to be
And every time I think of starting over
I wake up mortified
And I can't say I'm sober
Cause we both know this wasn't where our story was supposed to lead
And that's just the summary
Spend sixteen hours a week staring into your reflection
(oh your reflection)
Your need for affection is outrun by your fear of rejection
So you
Befriend the quiet and dance to blaring silence
Till you can't remember why the teary child decries
And suddenly you question what you even came for
I
Can't sleep, but I can't get out of bed
Quit coffee cause my life's already bitter
Friends call, but I ghost them all instead
Sick and tired of hearing it will all get better
Oh
Wish I could sit down with the old me
I'd tell him"Hi, long time no see"
And I'd apologize for not being what he wanted to be
And every time I think this will roll over
I wake up terrified, in bed, hungover
Cause we both know this wasn't where our story was supposed to lead
Oh and that's just the summary
It's taken all of me
To say this little thing
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
And usually, I'm a long-winded guy
But this time, there ain't much more to say
(oh to say)
I hear them preaching"Just give it time"
But I don't know how much more time I can take
Wish I could sit down with the old me
I'd tell him"Hi, long time no see"
And I'd apologize for not being what he wanted to be
And every time I think of starting over
I wake up mortified
And still not sober
Cause we both know this wasn't where our story was supposed to lead
And that's just the summary
(can't sleep, but I can't get out of bed)
Oh
(sick and tired of hearing it will all get better)
