Instant Replay

You keep calling
everyday
most of the time, I don't pick up
cause I don't need you prying into my life
asking all those questions
that I have no answers for

I never call you
why can't you get the hint
I wonder if it is because you still want me
yeah, I know that part is true
You want me physically
the only other way that you want me
is to get your control back

You want to control me
like you used to
back when, I cared
when I jumped at each of your orders
your commands
and demands
until I got just sick of it

Ok, so you never slept around
great
So I should give you a silver star or something
and even after these years
you still wait
and don't date
what are you waiting for ?

So you call me sometimes, when you're actually sober
and you sound so damn good
those old feelings surface with the warmth of your voice
and the tingling is still the same
I can sink into your voice
as I sink into the chair
and listen

It's not fair to me
it's so much easier, when you call drunk
which is most of the time
your gin and tonic rudeness
which only reinforces my resolve
that I did the right thing
when I left you

So what do you still want from me
beside your drunken lust for me
and your desire to control me

I am tired of keeping my phone off the hook
because of those 2am and 3am calls of yours
Can't you get a hint
You keep filling up my answering machine
with your constant reminders
of why I left.

But every now and then
I do listen to your recorded messages
and some just bring tears to my eyes
and instant replay to my heart
