QUONDAM

I LET IT RING

Instrumental Intro – Short Guitar Riff

Verse 1 – Restrained Male Singing

I got another call last night

About something I was supposed to fix

I said I'd look into it

Then I added it to the list

There's a message I haven't answered

From someone I used to know

We used to talk about everything

Now I don't know what to say at all

Verse 2 – Building Rock Instrumentation

I remember when we started

We had nothing figured out

We'd stay up talking for hours

About what we'd do when things worked out

Now we can't get through a conversation

Without somebody getting mad

And I catch myself getting angry

At people who aren't coming back

Refrain – Melodic Singing

And everybody's got a reason

For the things they couldn't do

I guess I've got a few myself

If we're telling the truth

Short Instrumental Guitar Riff

Verse 3 – Increasing Intensity

I keep telling everybody

That we're gonna figure it out

But I don't even know what that means

When I hear myself say it now

And maybe I expected too much

Maybe I made it hard to stay

I don't know which one bothers me more

So I keep putting it away

Bridge – Heavy Half-Time Drums, Distorted Guitars, Fully Sung Male Vocals

I used to think that leaving

Meant you didn't really care

Now I wonder if I would've

Done the same thing standing there

And I don't blame you for getting tired

I just wish you'd told me why

I spent so long trying to keep things together

I forgot to ask if I was fine

Brief Full-Band Stop

Chorus – Explosive Full Band, Powerful Melodic Singing

I'm the one who stays

When everybody's had enough

I'm the one who says

"We'll figure something out"

And I've been making promises

I don't know how to keep

Everybody wants an answer

And they're looking straight at me

I don't wanna walk away

I just can't keep saying yes

To everything that comes my way

When I can barely manage this

Outro

I got another call last night

I let it ring.
