thursday night and i'm waiting for that call
it's already too late and i probably won't sleep at all
we've been drifting apart for some time
but the scariest thing is how i want you stay and you're walking away
my phone rings
my heart stops
when you said hello all i heard was goodbye
when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies
when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show
that you were saying goodbye with hello
i said i wasn't crying but i was fighting back tears
inside it was like breaking up the first time, revealing my fears
we said it was mutual and everything was fine (oh baby)
but this is where i lied
i hang up
the tears come
when you said hello all i heard was goodbye
when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies
when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show
that you were saying goodbye with hello
i wish i could take back everything i said in that call
what i'd really tell you is how i really cared
not that i didn't care at all
you spoke the words i'm not deeply in love with you anymore
and to this day, those words burn into my core
when you said hello all i heard was goodbye
when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies
when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show
that you were saying goodbye with hello
