lyrics

Don’t know how I ended up in here
Kept it together for so long
But looking through these bars everything seems so clear
I know, I know that I was wrong

Said I’d stop fooling ‘round like this
Guess I had my fingers crossed
But you knew I was trouble from the very first kiss
And I knew, I knew, all hope was lost

Now they're giving me just one phone call
Got my head against the cold, cold wall
You thought I didn’t care at all
Well baby you’re my one phone call

Growing up in a town like this
Comes with a certain cost
You beat your brow and you pound your fist
But you can’t get down off of that cross

There’s something ‘bout a girl like you
Makes me think I got a shot
Even though you think my love ain’t true
I give, I give it all I got

Now they're giving me just one phone call
Got my head against the cold, cold wall
You thought I didn’t care at all
Well baby you’re my one phone call

‘Cause I’m the one who walked out
The one who had to shout
I’m never coming back
Baby I take it back

Maybe I take it back
Maybe I take it back
Baby I take it back

Another night on a concrete floor
But you won’t let it end this way
I don’t deserve you walking through that door
But here you come anyway

And they're giving me just one phone call
Got my head against the cold, cold wall
You thought I didn’t care at all
Yeah you thought I didn't care at all

One phone call
My head against the cold, cold wall
And you thought I didn't care at all
You thought I didn't care at all
