Story behind the song
If you were ever in a relationship you already know this story...
Lyrics
Break the silence
I've seen this face a million times
Another dial tone your food is getting cold
and I'm here alone
Blind defiance
I thought you'd change as the years went by
Can you tell me why - even though I tried
I can't read your mind
Chorus
How much longer will it take you
to break the chains that make you
sit there with that vacant stare
and make you think I'd hate you
If you'd tell me so I'd really like to know
Pick up the phone
I know I can help you I need you to pick up the phone
Bare your secrets
I want to meet the one inside
Won't you let me in - I don't care where you've been
Can you hear the phone?
I'm playing for keeps here
and I hope and pray night after night
that you'll hold the line working overtime
Can you hear the phone?
How much longer will it take you
to break the chains that make you
sit there with that vacant stare
and make you think I'd hate you
If you'd tell me so I'd really like to know
Pick up the phone
I know I can help you I need you to pick up the phone
And you think that all this yellin
is gonna make me hear you better - know better...
Who told you to face all your fears on your own?
seems to me - we could be runnin together
Look at me - it's pretty plain to see I can get you oughta here alive I can set you free...
Thanks for listening and taking the time - We mean it - peace... Abstract
