Let it ring

Title: “Let It Ring”

Intro

Yeah…

Late night again…

Phone lighting up like it miss me…

Verse 1

I been dodging calls all week, but tonight feel different

Same city, different bed, still somehow I’m present

You say you grown, say you focused, say you doing fine

But you don’t call people you forgot about after midnight

You say it’s nothing, say it’s casual, say I’m tripping

But your voice shake every time you say you happy with him

I know that tone, I know that pause, I know that sigh

That’s the sound of someone lying to they own mind

Pre-Chorus

You don’t say my name

But it sit between the lines

You don’t say you miss me

But you don’t hang up on time

Chorus

So why you calling me now?

Why you breaking your rules?

You got somebody holding you down

But you reaching for who?

You don’t miss me for real

You miss that I stayed

You don’t want love

You want something familiar when you feel replaced

So I’ma let it ring…

Yeah, I’ma let it be…

’Cause you with someone new

And baby that ain’t me

Bridge (Your lyrics — expanded naturally)

I know you with somebody right now…

I can hear it in your voice…

You telling me you happy,

But happiness don’t need this many choices…

You say he treat you better,

But you calling me instead…

Guess comfort hit different

When you laying in his bed…

I shouldn’t answer…

But I do it every time…

Guess we both addicted

To a love we left behind…

Verse 2

You say he everything I wasn’t

But you still checking for me

If he really what you wanted

Why you stressing for me?

You say I changed, maybe so

But you changed me first

I learned love don’t always heal

Sometimes it hurt worse

I was there when you was empty

When you didn’t believe

Now you full of somebody else

But still pouring into me

Pre-Chorus 2

You don’t call him late

You don’t cry on his chest

But you calling me when the world

Start feeling too heavy to rest

Verse 3

You say you tired…

I know…

I been tired too…

You say you trying…

I tried…

Harder for you…

You want me patient…

Still…

I was before…

But waiting for you

Ain’t love…

It’s war…

Chorus (Repeat)

So why you calling me now?

Why you breaking your rules?

You got somebody holding you down

But you reaching for who?

You don’t miss me for real

You miss the way that I stayed

You don’t want love

You want something familiar when you feel replaced

So I’ma let it ring…

Yeah, I’ma let it be…

’Cause you with someone new

And baby that ain’t me

Outro

Maybe we just needed distance

To see what we became…

Maybe love ain’t always meant to last

Maybe it’s meant to change…

I’ll always wish you peace,

Just not at the cost of me…

So if you calling one last time,

I’ma let it ring…

Let it be…

Yeah…

Let it be…

Because you with someone new…

And baby that ain’t me…
