Payphone

(album: Overexposed - 2012)

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?

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
[Explicit:] All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Clean:] All those fairy tales are full of it
[Explicit:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick
[Clean:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

Oh, 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 (Oh-oh)
I don't expect you to care (Yeah)
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 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah)

If "Happy Ever After" did exist
I would still be holding you like this
[Explicit:] All those fairy tales are full of shit
[Clean:] All those fairy tales are full of it
[Explicit:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick (Yeah, uh)
[Clean:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick, oh
Now I'm at a payphone

[Clean radio-version verse:]
Yeah, yeah, now baby don't hang up
So I can tell you what you need to know
Baby I'm begging you just please don't go
So I can tell you what you need to know

[Explicit-version verse (Wiz Khalifa):]
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting 'round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunting
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me I changed since I blew up
Or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don't need my name on my shirt
You can tell that I'm balling
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wished I'd go away, got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take
That little piece of shit with you (Yeah)

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you (Woo)
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong (Yeah)
Where are the plans we made for two? (Yeah)

If "Happy Ever After" did exist (Oh)
I would still be holding you like this
[Explicit:] All those fairy tales are full of shit (Yeah)
[Clean:] All those fairy tales are full of it
[Explicit:] One more fucking love song, I'll be sick, oh
[Clean:] One more stupid love song, I'll be sick, yeah
Now I'm at a payphone
