I can't seem to remember what started our last fight
Does it really matter who was wrong or who was right
I guess we both need to accept the better part of blame
But it's hard to get past the caller with the unknown name
I can't believe, I was so blind, that I could not see
Everything until that day, when you walked out on me
Nights alone while your away and feeling so all alone
No calls came in with unknown name on the telephone
Your home tonight in the living room and I'm in bed alone
I see you laughing with the unknown name on the telephone
I can not say what I did to change the way you feel
But an empty pain consumes my heart and it is oh so real
The rooms now are empty and the pictures are off the wall
Now so much empty space, in a house that once seemed small
The radio is playing, as I live out my greatest fear
Laughter from the little voices, I no longer hear
I play my part on the weekends, as my life is not the same
My family torn apart, by a caller with an unknown name
This is not how I pictured how my life would end
Broken hearted, down and out, without my very best friend
Where did I go astray my dear, that I could not see
This unknown name taking away the better part of me
Don't believe the rumours and these small town lies
We've come to far to end it now and say our last goodbye
