Letra de
Payphone

A música Payphone do Maroon 5 fala sobre um relacionamento fracassado e a difícil aceitação deste fim. A letra reflete uma combinação de arrependimento e nostalgia, simbolizada pela metáfora de estar numa cabine telefônica tentando entrar em contato com um amor perdido. Foi uma maneira de expressar a dolorosa realidade de que, às vezes, não importa o quanto tentemos, algumas coisas simplesmente não podem ser consertadas ou recuperadas.

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone baby
It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of it
One more stupid love song I'll be sick

You turned your back on tomorrow Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone baby
It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of it
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone
