Exile - When She Calls lyrics

[Verse 1: Fashawn] When she called, I had a knife to my wrist Feeling like life ain't make sense See, I just quit my job, sick of flipping burgers And living in my aunt's garage So I just let it ring Sitting there, drowning in a bottle of Jim Beam Thinking to myself, she was 'posed to be my queen Feel like a bad dream And I just want to wake up, walked in the house Caught some n***a digging her out, him and his spouse Remember when we first confessed we loved one another I was cool with her pops, she was tight with my mother As crazy as it sounds, think I still love her Enough to take my own life, left me with nothing But a broken heart, suicidal thoughts A 12-inch blade, real, real sharp Phone is still ringing, so I picked up the call Let go of the knife, let it drop to the floor, damn [Hook: Fashawn] (When I am sleeping) Some days, I don't even want to wake up (When I am sleeping, I cannot keep the lights) (When I am sleeping) Some days, I don't even want to wake up (When I am sleeping, I cannot keep the lights) [Verse 2: Fashawn] When she called, he had a knife to his wrist Contemplating if life made sense See, he just quit his job Sick of flipping burgers and living in the garage So he just let it ring Didn't even check the caller ID Thought about his girlfriend cheating on him He caught her in the bed with another woman And another man, couldn't understand how you can crush A person's heart in the palm of your hands Now he's depressed, even thinking suicidal Like how you go from a lover to a rival? Bottle of Jack, knife on his lap, d**h on his mind Matter of time before he just snaps But he answers the phone, it's his mother on the other end Pleading that he needs to come home He puts the knife down at the sound of her voice Hesitant about making that choice Wrong or right, that phone call might have saved his life He said to himself [Hook] [Verse 3: Fashawn] She could've been his wife, he could've been her husband Could've had a family, wonder where the love went What caused her to be unfaithful, was it him Or the young stud that she met at the gym? Always kept a smile, knew how to pretend Never thought his life might come to an end She reflects on the days when they were best friends But this is now, and that was then She awakes to the news, he committed suicide Her heart drops and she begins to cry Thinking of their first kiss back in junior high Didn't even get the chance to say goodbye But it's because of her, he's no longer alive Worst part about it, he never knew why And everything he thought to be true was a lie Died with a picture by his side And a letter that read, it said [Hook] [Outro] Just another episode in my area code, area code Just another episode in my area code Some days, I don't even want to wake up (When I am sleeping, I cannot keep the night) Sometimes people get trapped in their mind They just want to escape But it feels like they stuck So we find ways to escape Some people even hurt themselves Some hurt others But it'll be better tomorrow It'll all be better tomorrow, I promise
