lyrics

Dial 3 for the message
I planned far ahead
The operator’s silence
Does it fill you with dread?
You always said I think too much
Well I guess you were right
But this ain’t a conversation, love
It’s just one more goodbye

Well hello, old friend
It’s me again
The deck is going under
I just have to say when
Remember when we drank too much
In your living room?
Collapsed beneath the weight of lust
And all your doom

But I don’t blame you for anything
Some people they just drift away
Never knowing that they’re lost
But love’s not a game you can referee
Well, it comes and goes
And everybody knows
That one day you’ll pay the cost

My breathing is getting slower now
There’s not much left to say
I always had too many feelings
They always got in my way
It’s hard to fill an empty glass
It’s even harder to break
And if this pain, it wasn’t meant to last
Then maybe god made a mistake

But I don’t blame you for anything
Some people they just drift away
Never knowing that they’re lost
But love’s not a game you can referee
Well, it comes and goes
And everybody knows
That one day you’ll pay the cost

And you’ll pay
Oh, you’ll pay

Now I’m the memory
That haunts you in your sleep
You shouldn’t make promises
That you can’t keep
