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

Yeah yeah yeah
