hold the phone

from the first kiss

i always thought we would be more than this

some call it bliss

but there's something that we've always missed

if you love me now

speak it true and let your words ring out

here i stand

with open arms and my heart in hand

hold the phone

i never you knew you felt so alone

let it be known

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

for every show

the curtain called and the lights went low

fast and slow

the wind who whips the life on the road

hold the phone

i never knew you felt so alone

let it be known

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

i never wanted to let you go

and i was only

trying to make it

to start a better life

a house with the yard and kids

maybe a wife

thought i was doing right

by making my name in the spotlight

other fortunes seemed

more important than you and i

our inconsequential lives

sending its tower

clocks the hour

so i'll try to come home tonight

and i was only

trying to make it
