Shy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone
Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone

Another lonely night on my own
Too much time thinking of you
I can't get you outta my mind
And memories still go through
Flying out of the sky
But they're still right home
Should I keep hanging on
Or should I just let go

Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone
Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone

Everywhere I go, everything I do
Everything I dream comes back to you
There must be something special
Got me cornered and I can't move
Got me all twisted
Left out in the cold
Right now I need a place to hide
This heart which has died

Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone
Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone

Well, I can't hold on forever
But we could be together

Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone
Telephone, don't keep me hanging on
'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone

Telephone, don't keep me hanging on




'Cause I been waiting on my own
And I can't go on now love is gone
