Lyric Spotlight Q&A

 

She only calls me when she cries
When someone else has broke her heart
She only calls me late at night
She only calls me when she cries

She only holds me with her eyes
When her arms are reaching out for him
As if to pray I’ll be alright
She only holds me with her eyes

And like a fool I jump on in
Say this time it’s different again
And I melt to that pretty voice
Not strong enough to make a choice
I’m losing to her every win

She only loves me when she lies
When the one she wants is out of town
And lonely’s got her on the line
She only loves me when she lies
