The phone doesn’t ring anymore
Nobody’s calling
I guess this is how it gets
When you can’t stop falling

Over head, over heels,
Rock bottom seems gone
This stand-still, mid-air
Not quite alive, not quite numb

We had no closure
We just left it hanging
After some time it hung itself
While we weren’t watching

The “story not finished”
Had me going on too long
“Meant to be forever”
Was suddenly just wrong

We won an award
For crying out loud!
Holding hands on stage
Weren’t you proud?

Weren’t we perfect?
Or is it just me
Did I get something wrong?
Weren’t we happy?

Sure the fights were real
And we said some things
First hurt, then anger,
Then regret, then friends

Was it ever the solution
To let love go?
Who were you convincing
With that simple “no”?

Now, I let you fly
Like I’m supposed to endure
Let you spread your wings
Let you soar

But what if you fly
To close to the sun
And you burn your wings
And you can’t come home

But I know you aren’t burnt
And I know you’re doing fine
And the sleepless nights
Are only mine

So I’ll dance the nights away
Like I’m supposed to do
And drink ‘till I fall over
Or find somebody new

We’ll flirt a little while
And then I’ll take him home
Sleeping with some random guy
Is better than sleeping alone










(Next morning he’s surely gone
And here I sit, on my floor
There’s just no me without you
And the phone doesn’t ring anymore)
