Why Don't You Answer Me

Lyrics

Intro
Hey, hey
Why don’t you answer me?

Verse 1
You read my message, then you disappear
I watch the little typing dots appear
They blink twice, then they’re gone again
Tell me, is this how our story ends?

Pre-Chorus
I’m counting every minute on the clock
Your name lights up, then the whole screen stops
If you’ve got something you need to say
Don’t leave me hanging halfway

Chorus
Why don’t you answer me?
Say it straight, don’t make me guess
Why don’t you answer me?
One small word could end this mess
If you want me, say you do
If you don’t, I’ll make it through
Why don’t you answer me?
Answer, answer me

Verse 2
Your jacket’s still here by the doorway light
I told myself I’d give you one more night
I can be cool, I can play it sweet
But silence keeps a louder beat

Pre-Chorus
I’m counting every minute on the clock
Your name lights up, then the whole screen stops
If you’ve got something you need to say
Don’t leave me hanging halfway

Chorus
Why don’t you answer me?
Say it straight, don’t make me guess
Why don’t you answer me?
One small word could end this mess
If you want me, say you do
If you don’t, I’ll make it through
Why don’t you answer me?
Answer, answer me

Breakdown
No more waiting by the phone
I can make it on my own
But before I close this door
Tell me what we’re waiting for

Final Chorus
Why don’t you answer me?
Say it straight, don’t make me guess
Why don’t you answer me?
One small word could end this mess
If you want me, say you do
If you don’t, I’ll make it through
Why don’t you answer me?
Answer, answer me

Outro
Answer, answer me
Why don’t you answer me?
