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
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
