lyrics

You spend your time with him
and I’ll spend mine alone
you're waiting on his whims
I’m waiting by the phone

maybe you'll say goodnight to me
cause I can't sleep without it
you'll say "I still love you as a friend"
and I’ll say “that's not what I wanted”

and I understand that I can’t make you
feel the way I do about you. about me (ABOUT ME!)
but if things go on like this
you can’t live the way you’re used to without me.

Please, heart. would you shut up for a minute?
I’m trying to think.
and it seems there's nothing left to begin with
so I’m following my instincts
and they say don’t pick up the phone
my heart says yes but my head knows
it would just lead to another entry
on the list of mistakes that I’ve made today

and it’s a long one
I guess we had a good run...

I’m starting over again
you’re nothing more than the ghost of a friend
long gone, I’m not going to pretend
that you’re the person I knew back then.

I know, I should have let you go
but you should have let me know
if you wanted to leave you should have just said so

and by leave, I mean leave
I don’t mean hold on, lying next to me.
like you did, how long has your heart been gone?
you set the world record for leading on.

I’ll never know why
I guess that this is goodbye...

I’m starting over again
you’re nothing more than the ghost of a friend
long gone, I’m not going to pretend
that you’re the person I knew back then.

I’m the captain going down with his ship.
It’s been a long journey but I guess this is it
and I’m so far from home, adrift in the splinters and foam
trying to swim on my own, as you sail away in your boat.. with him.
