The song tells the story of a man desperately trying to reach his ex to express his desire to reconcile, only to be met with silence. With heartfelt lyrics and a haunting melody, Frank Ocean captures the pain of unreciprocated love and the hope for a second chance.
[Verse 1]
I've been dialing your number, I must've called a thousand times
My heart's breaking, I see your name on the screen, but you don’t reply
Late nights, staring at the ceiling, the silence is way too loud
I'm here begging for forgiveness, but you're nowhere to be found, oh
[Chorus]
Why won't you pick up the phone?
I'm just trying to tell you I miss you, I'm alone
I know I was wrong, and I want you to know
Give me a chance to fix what I've broken, don't let go
[Verse 2]
Remember the nights we cried, the beautiful mess we made
I’m reminiscing on the laughter, but the tears won't fade
I'm lost in these memories, can't find my way back to you
I'm screaming into the void, but my words don’t break through
[Chorus]
Why won't you pick up the phone?
I'm just trying to tell you I miss you, I'm alone
I know I was wrong, and I want you to know
Give me a chance to fix what I've broken, don't let go
[Bridge]
Your silence is killing me, it's echoing in my mind
I'm holding onto the hope that you'll answer in time
Please hear my voice, don't leave me in this twilight
I’m reaching out for you, baby, hold on tight
[Chorus]
Why won't you pick up the phone?
I'm just trying to tell you I miss you, I'm alone
I know I was wrong, and I want you to know
Give me a chance to fix what I've broken, don't let go
[Outro]
So I'll keep trying, dialing your number
Hoping one day you'll answer, and we'll recover
Until then, I'll be waiting, just so you know
I need you back, please don't let go
