Keeping the old message is a performance for no one, a way to hear 'your voice' through a piece of technology that's become a monument.

But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
The cover doesn't soften the lyric's vanity. Keeping the old message is a performance for no one, a way to hear 'your voice' through a piece of technology that's become a monument. It's pathetic in the old sense, you feel it.
'Gotta change My answering machine Now that I'm alone', that's the whole situation. The machine is proof she's by herself, but changing the message would make it official. So she leaves it, letting a recorded 'we' do the talking because the real voice is gone.
That line admits the answering machine isn't about communication. It's an archive. You play the message to hear a ghost, which means you've already lost.
The way CL delivers '(It's ridiculous)' right after admitting the machine makes no sense. It's a muttered aside that undercuts the drama, then the song swells back into the chorus anyway.

Gotta change
My answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cause right now
It says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way
I hear your voice anymore
(It's ridiculous)
It's been months
And for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this
(Enough is enough)
No more walking round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Crying over you
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
So why can't I turn off the radio?
So why can't I turn off the radio?
