Lyrics

I can’t call you upI can’t take you outOut of my mindOut of my heartOut of my contactsBut never really goneI can’t take you outI can’t take you out

I go through my contactsAnd I still see you thereIn my photosWe were thereI could call them upThe memories still ringBut I can’t call you upAnd it still hurts the same

Out to dinnerOut to the showAll the little placesWe used to goYou’re in my phoneYou’re in my dreamsStill in my heartStill part of me

I can’t call you upBut I can’t take you outOut of my mindOut of my heart somehowThe phone still knows your nameThe pictures still know your faceYou’re gone, but not goneNo, not from this placeNever goneNever forgottenI can’t call you upBut I can’t take you out

I can’t take you outOut to dinner anymoreOut to the showLike we did beforeBut I think of youWhen the night gets stillIn my heartI always will

You’re in my mindYou’re in my heartYou’re in my dreamsYou’re never farIn my contactsIn my phoneIn my memoriesI’m not alone

My friendsMy familyAll my loved onesLeave me sad but blessedFor the times we hadFor the days we sharedNever goneYou’re still there

I can’t call you upBut I can’t take you outOut of my mindOut of my heart somehowThe phone still knows your nameThe pictures still know your faceYou’re gone, but not goneNo, not from this placeNever goneNever forgottenI can’t call you upBut I can’t take you out

Sometimes the phone ringsAnd I still turn aroundLike you might be thereLike you’re still in townSometimes a pictureTakes me back againTo the times we sharedTo the friend you’ve beenIt leaves me sadBut it leaves me blessedYou’re never goneYou’re just laid to rest

I can’t call you upBut I can’t take you outOut of my mindOut of my heart somehowNever goneNever forgottenStill in my heartStill in my contacts

I can’t call you upBut I can’t take you outOut of my mindOut of my heart somehowThe phone still knows your nameThe pictures still know your faceYou’re gone, but not goneNo, not from this placeNever goneNever forgottenI can’t call you upBut I can’t take you out

I can’t call you upI can’t take you outIn my mindIn my heartIn my dreamsIn my phoneIn my memoriesNever goneNever forgotten
