Goodbye With Hello

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
