One Call

[Verse 1]

Won't be home tonight

I know I let you down again

I'll try to put it right

You know what it's like

Things get out of hand and so do I

When my face was on the pavement

My thoughts were just of you

And the times that you've been patient

After all I've put you through

Won't be home tonight

I'm sorry if I let you down sometimes

[Refrain]

I know it ain't easy

I gave you my word

And I know you believe me

And that makes it worse

I only got a couple minutes

I wish that I could say so much more

But I only get one call

I only get one call

And you were my one call

[Verse 2]

Got my alibi

I know where I would rather be

At home and by your side

I apologise

I swear I never meant to make you cry

They've been asking for a statement

I pretend I'm not afraid

So I'm sat here with the face on

Like I don't know what to say

Won't be home tonight

I'm sorry that I let you down sometimes

[Refrain]

I know it ain't easy

I gave you my word

And I know you believe me

And that makes it worse

I only got a couple minutes

I wish that I could say so much more

But I only get one call

I only get one call

And you were my one call
