Lyrics:

I don’t really know what you’re calling me for
It’s been a couple years since we closed that door 
I got nothin left to give, even less to say
And ain’t no coming back since we lost that war 

You’re crying on the phone, but I don’t believe it
Cause everything you say is always so convenient 
Oh so convenient

Just go on tell yourself you miss me
If you think that’s gonna help 
But you’re only feeling lonely
Now you’re out there by yourself
Cause one day you’ll wake up and realize
Everything you had
Someone loved you so much
You never had to love em back

You start going on bout the way things were
How bad you wanna try to make a broke thing work 
How we could be together till we’re old and grey 
Kinda funny, cause back then you were never so sure 

You’re crying on the phone, and I don’t believe it
Oh everything you say is always so convenient 

Go on tell yourself you miss me
If you think that’s gonna help 
But you’re only feeling lonely
Now you’re out there by yourself
Cause one day you’ll wake up and realize
Everything you had
Someone loved you so much
You never had to love em back

Mmm, never had to love em back
Mmm

All of my life I
Was looking for somebody
To give myself to fully 
To lend my soul, my body, my body
Cause you made it easy
When no one believed me
That this time was different
And I should have listened 
Cause I gave it all while
You kept your distance
And say what you want but
It won’t make a difference 
It won’t make a difference 


Just go on tell yourself you miss me
If you think that’s gonna help 
But you’re only feeling lonely
Now you’re out there by yourself
Cause one day you’ll wake up and realize
Everything you had
Someone loved you so much
Someone loved you so much
Oh I loved you, baby, so much
You never had to love me back
