[Intro — voicemail beep]
[Spoken — tired, slightly drunk]
I ain’t gonna lie…
I know you probably don’t wanna hear from me.
And I’m not calling to—
[Pause]
Man, whatever.
[Beat enters]
[Verse 1]
I know what we had
I know what it was
Say I don’t care
But I’m calling because—
Two in the morning
I’m stuck in my head
Every little memory
Playing again
Sober or drunk
It don’t matter tonight
Tell myself I’m good
But that don’t make it right
You moved on
Yeah, I heard about him
Hope you’re doing good—
[Pause]
At least that’s what I’m saying.
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t tryna get you back
I ain’t tryna change your mind
I just happened to call
For the fourth damn time
Don’t read into that
Don’t make it something more
[Phone ringing]
…Why you ain’t answering though?
[Chorus]
Whatever, bro
Whatever, whatever
Say I’m letting go
But I still remember
Whatever, bro
I’m good, I’m fine
That’s what I keep saying
Every damn time
You got your man
You got your life
And me?
Yeah…
I’ll be alright
I ain’t tryna get you back
I just wanted you to know—
[Voicemail beep]
Whatever, bro.
[Verse 2]
Funny how the smallest things
Come running through my head
Places that we used to go
Things you used to say
I don’t even know
Why I’m telling you this
Maybe some memories
Don’t know when to quit
You probably don’t care
Yeah, I know, I know
Still I’m talking to a voicemail
Like you might pick up the phone
Hope you’re doing good
Even if I’m not
Damn…
Forget I said that part.
[Rap]
No Caller ID
Yeah, that’s probably me
Say it ain’t that deep
Then I call back three
I’m not coming back
I’m not asking you to choose
But if I don’t want you
Why I got something to prove?
Sober me says leave it
Drunk me hits call
Pride says I don’t care
Memories say it all
You got somebody new
I ain’t crossing that line
But I’d be lying if I said
You never cross my mind
[Bridge — beat fades]
Maybe I don’t miss us
Maybe I just miss
Who I was back then
Maybe hearing your voice
Wouldn’t change anything
[Long pause]
…Still would’ve been nice.
[Final Chorus]
Whatever, bro
Whatever, whatever
Guess some memories
Just stick around forever
Whatever, bro
You’re good, I’m fine
Go live your life
I’ll figure out mine
No, I ain’t tryna get you back
No, you don’t owe me a thing
I just called to say—
[Pause]
…
I don’t even know why I called.
[Outro — voicemail static]
Hope you’re doing good.
For real.
Take care.
[Pause]
…Whatever.
