[Hook]

I'm back and I’m here to let you know that

I never left, I been waiting by the phone

There comes a time when I want to fall

But I know I gotta keep it going, try to move it on

I'm back and I’m here to let you know that

I never left, I been waiting by the phone

For the day that you pick it up and call

But until then I guess you’re waiting for us to fall

 

[Verse 1]

Back when we were young

We were playing about, there was nothing going wrong

We were, going about our day, just cruising on

Back then our biggest worry was the fact that we had none

But who would have thought that soon, that’d fade to black

We’d go our different ways with no looking back

I ain’t pointing the blame but if I recollect

You were tryna find somebody else to point the finger at

I understand it but I cannot comprehend it, man

If I could take it back, I hope you know that I would tell you

That I never meant to hurt you

No, it wasn’t my intention

I know I should have faced my fear

But I was young and stubborn

And now I got the knowledge and courage to reach out

To let you know that I’m still here now

I know it’s not my problem if you don’t wanna listen 

But you can’t say I never tried to tell you what you’re missing

I never left, I been waiting by the phone

There comes a time when I want to fall

But I know I gotta keep it going, try to move it on

I'm back and I’m here to let you know that

I never left, I been waiting by the phone

For the day that you pick it up and call

But until then I guess you’re waiting for us to fall

 

[Verse 2]

I can understand part of where you’re coming from

But there’s a couple of things that run me up the wall

Yeah, no I get that you’re hurt

But you never gave a chance for me to get in a word

You never took into account, that I was tryna make it work

I was caught right in the middle while it was blowing up

I was picking up the pieces, gluing them back together

I was caught up in a battle that wasn’t even mine

But in the end, it doesn’t matter

What’s the point of even trying if you won’t help yourself?

You don’t even seem to wanna take any of the blame

But I guess in your mind, you’re never wrong, has it changed?

Well I hope so for your sake and your health

With all of that aside, I hear you’re doing well

Man, you got yourself a job and you’re doing what you love

Just make sure you don’t take it for granted, ah…

[Verse 3]

Im back and I’m here to let you know that

I never thought this is how it’d turn out

I guess I had it buried for too long

Now it’s time to face that demon before I fall

You’re not looking at the dude that you thought you knew

I wouldn’t be where I am now, without you

Guess you’re part of why I do this

And a few others that will remain nameless

Now I know I gotta kick it, know I tried to move on

I only got so far before I had to come back

And give you the piece of my mind

That I shoulda given you back 5 years time

But for now I guess we go back to being blind

Another bone out the closet, into the light

As I said before, I wouldn’t be where I am without you

And for that man, I guess that I should thank you
