Don't Call Him Home
Echoes of Heartbreak: Silent Stations' Tale of Love, Loss, and Longing
Lyrics
I know that I played the game
I acknowledge my participation in the situation
I know that I dealt the cards
I took an active role in influencing the outcome
But please hear what I say
Requesting attention to my perspective
Although I've made it so hard
Admitting the difficulty I've created
I know that I stacked the deck
Acknowledging manipulation in my favor
I know that I took the tricks
Recognizing strategic moves on my part
But when I see you with him
Expressing pain seeing you with someone else
It hurts worse than words, stones it sticks
Highlighting the deep emotional impact
In my head
Internal thoughts
He's in your bed
Imagining him in your intimate space
And I'm alone
Emphasizing personal loneliness
But please don't call him home
Pleading not to involve him further
Cause that word it was sold (don't call him home)
Rejecting the idea of calling him back
To the lies that you told (don't call him home)
Linking his return to dishonesty
Cause I can't think straight (don't call him home)
Expressing confusion and distraction
And I'm always too late (don't call him home)
Acknowledging a pattern of delay
Cause you made me feel like I was the one
Reflecting on feeling special once
And I hope you thought that it was fun to make someone
Suggesting the experience was just for amusement
Feel so alone
Describing the resultant isolation
Cause I looked for you in the corners of my head
Searching for emotional connection in thoughts
And all I found was a phrase that you said about a
Recalling a promising statement
Paradise waiting for me far away from you
Dreaming of a distant ideal place without you
In my head
Repetition of internal thoughts
He's in your bed
Imagining his presence in your intimate space
And I'm alone
Emphasizing personal loneliness
But please don't call him home
Pleading not to involve him further
And whoever you lose (don't call him home)
Advising against losing anyone
And whoever you choose (Don't call him home)
Advising against choosing anyone
Don't tell me his name (Don't call him home)
Requesting to keep his identity secret
Cause it won't be the same (Don't call him home)
Warning against expecting the same
But in my head
Repetition of internal thoughts
He's in your bed
Imagining his presence in your intimate space
And I'm alone
Emphasizing personal loneliness
But please don't call him home
Pleading not to involve him further
No please don't call him home
Reiterating the plea to refrain from calling him back
No please don't call him home
