lyrics

“You Told Me Not To Call (I’m Wasted)”

VERSE ONE
You told me not to call, but you still answered
You asked what I was doing, and I said, “Nothing new.”
I guess this is old news, and I’m sure that you’ve heard
that I still miss you and I’m wasted…

VERSE TWO
I asked about your new friend, you said things were fine
But when you told me you loved ‘em, I could tell you were lying
I did all our old jokes, and I could tell you were smiling
I said I miss you… and I’m wasted…


CHORUS
I’ve been stumbling down the avenue
And I’ve been looking for you
I’ve been looking for my baby…
But, I’m wasted… and I miss you…

VERSE THREE
You asked about my new songs, and I complained
I’ve been writing everyday, but they’re all the same
Some five dollar words and a cheap refrain
that goes I miss you… and I’m wasted…

VERSE FOUR
You asked if I was lonely, I said, “basically…”
But I’ll never be alone, not technically
The elephant in the room, yeah, he’s with me
And I still miss you…

CHORUS
I’ve been stumbling down the avenue
And I’ve been looking for you
I’ve been looking for my baby
I figured it was over, and I’d never make it through
So I’ve been drinking it’s true
And now I’m thinking it could save me
But I’m wasted… and I miss you

VERSE FIVE
You told me not to call, said this was the last time
But you might recall, you said that the last time
In spite of it all, it’s a hell of a past time
And I still miss you

CHORUS
I’ve been stumbling down the avenue
And I’ve been looking for you
I’ve been looking for my baby
I figured it was over, and I’d never make it through
So I’ve been drinking it’s true
And now I’m thinking it could save me
But I’m wasted… and I miss you…
