[1] The song tells the story of a man who, filled with despair, calls his former lover on the telephone because he wants to hear her voice again.

However, he dares not speak: "I bite my lip till the blood runs free and keep the words 'I love you' hidden deep, deep inside of me..." The woman assumes it is a wrong number and hangs up.
