Hip-Hop/Rap
On Hold
A hip-hop song about unanswered calls and relationship uncertainty, moving from waiting for someone else toward letting go and finding your own voice.
LyricsRead the words
Yeah, uh Phone keep ringin' but you never there I just need to know... you still care
Dialin' digits but you screen my calls Got me starin' at these empty walls Radio silence got me goin' insane Wonder if you even know my name Not tryna press you, just need a clear sign 'Cause this silence is messin' with my mind I respect your boundaries, I'll give you your space But I see your shadow all over the place
Every ring just echoes back to me Your voicemail's all that I can see I ain't beggin', just want you to know That I'm here if you're ready to let go
I'm on hold, waitin' by the phone In this limbo, feelin' so alone Every dial tone cuts like a knife You're the missing piece in my life On hold, but I ain't givin' up Your silence ain't enough to make me stop I'll wait here in this static noise
Maybe you're healing, maybe you're hurt Maybe I'm the last thing that you deserve But I can't shake this feeling in my chest That we left a lot of feelings unaddressed I see your stories but you dodge my texts Wonder what I did to make you disconnect Not asking for forever, just a minute To know if there was anything real within it
Every ring just echoes back to me Your voicemail's all that I can see I ain't desperate, just want you to know That I'm here when you're ready to let go
I'm on hold, waitin' by the phone In this limbo, feelin' so alone Every dial tone cuts like a knife You're the missing piece in my life On hold, but I ain't givin' up Your silence ain't enough to make me stop I'll wait here in this static noise Till I finally hear your voice
Fingers on the dial, can't even hear the tone Thought you'd pick it up, but I'm stuck here alone Every second feels like a year, then it's gone I'm just waitin' for the light, but it's never on Static in my head, it's a loop, no escape Hopes crashin' down, still I try to relate Time's slippin', I'm slippin', but I keep callin' Wires crossed, it's dark, but I'm still fallin' Maybe I'm the echo, maybe I'm the sound I'm lost in the noise, but I won't be found
I'm on hold, but I'm learnin' to let go Can't force love when it don't want to grow Every dial tone taught me something new Sometimes the answer is silence from you On hold, but now I understand Maybe it's time to take back my hand I've waited here through all this noise Now I'm findin' my own voice
Phone's still here if you change your mind But I won't leave my life behind On hold, but not forever On hold
