Story Behind The Song
I had an ex who moved away who still calls to complain about who she's currently dating. After years of being the person who knows her best, it becomes hard for her not to involve me in her problems and hard for me not to try to fix them.

Lyrics
You call me me when you're tired of your boyfriend. He never takes you out, doesn't listen. This affair, it's unfair, it's fooling me. I've noticed that you call me when you're lonely. You know just who to call to make you happy, I say "it's alright, It's just one fight, I'm sure he loves you." But what I want to say is, "come back home, you've been gone for too long. You ask me if I want to hear a secret. You'd tell me if I promise I can keep. So I crossed my heart I swore to god that you could trust me. You tell me there's a boy that you're seeing. It's like his face was taken straight from a magazine, all I could do was laugh at you and say you're crazy. But what I want to do is pull you close, make you see, you need me.
