They don't ask you to come over anymore
They're afraid of what you might take
They're afraid of what you might break
They're afraid that you'll freak out
But most of all they're worried about the mess that you might make
'Cause they don't want a mess; they don't want to admit
That there are things beyond our control
But if they look into your wild, wild eyes
Well, they will know, they will know, they will know
They don't wanna know
They can't take it, so they don't call you anymore
That's why they don't call you anymore
When you go to the hospital
You're gonna have to do it on your own, all alone
When you get arrested and they take you to jail
Your friends won't come to visit you
And they won't pay your bail
'Cause they don't wanna see how easy you can see
They're afraid that you might drag them down
It could be down looking out to those bars
It could be them wearing hospital gowns
And that's why they don't want you around
They all wished that you get well
But they sure as hell don't want to
Or they don't know how to help
They're afraid that they might catch what you got
And it scares them to death when they hear you talking to yourself
'Cause they're afraid that those voices in your head might spread into their own
They all know that they hang by a thread
And it's so easy to let go
They don't wanna lose their homes so they don't call you anymore
That's why they don't call you anymore
They'll all miss you when you're gone;
They'll all say that they don't know what went wrong, but
Deep inside we all know
We all knew where you were going, and
We all let you go, and
Now I've got the time, and now I've got the guts
But you're not picking up the phone
And it's way too late to call you anymore
Yes, way too late to call you anymore
They're afraid of what you might take
They're afraid of what you might break
They're afraid that you'll freak out
But most of all they're worried about the mess that you might make
'Cause they don't want a mess; they don't want to admit
That there are things beyond our control
But if they look into your wild, wild eyes
Well, they will know, they will know, they will know
They don't wanna know
They can't take it, so they don't call you anymore
