Eva Via - Respect the Call Lyrics

Here I am, gonna try again, not sure what I've done
But I turn around, try to smile again, you look right through me like you see no one
My friends say you fell in love with me, but I didn't feel the same
They say you want to want to avoid me now, 'cause talking to me brings you pain

Without an explanation
Without a shot at negotiation
You won't talk to me, you won't answer me
I tried begging you to tell me, please
I'm the one who should be pissed, but it feels much better to forgive

I loved you like a dad, mostly loved you like a friend
Spent years failing hard at blending in, you took me as I am
Finally someone showed the respect I deserved, and helped me up my game
I know things can get confusing, but I never thought it'd end this way

Without an explanation
Without a shot at negotiation
You won't talk to me, you won't answer me
I tried begging you to tell me, please
I'm the one who should be pissed, but it feels much better to forgive

The refs in basketball always blow the late-game calls
They taught me to swallow my whistle, I'm not gonna call your foul
I don't need to see the replay, let's just run it back from the top
I wanna pick up where we left off, and put some time back on the clock

Won't need an explanation
Won't need a shot at negotiation
If you'll talk to me, if you'll answer me
I'll stop begging you to tell me, please
There you go, you've got the ball, all I can do is respect the call
