(Verse 1)
The screen lights up at ten o'clock
Like it’s a schedule, like a lock
You ask me how my classes went
I type a lie and hit ‘send’.
You sound so calm, you sound so steady
Like you were relieved, like you were ready
To strip the romance from the frame
And just keep the picture, keep the name.
(Pre-Chorus)
You told me that you tried your best
That you failed the heart, you failed the test
Said, "Babe, I just don't feel the spark"
So why are we still calling in the dark?
(Chorus)
If I’m not the one, then hang up the phone
If you don't love me, let me be alone
You say it’s platonic, you say we’re just friends
But this conversation never seems to end.
You say you tried, but the feeling wasn't true
So why is it so hard for you to say adieu?
Stop asking how I am, stop being so kind
If you left my heart, then get out of my mind.
(Verse 2)
It’s been three weeks since we drew the line
Since you claimed your heart wasn't matching mine
You act like nothing really changed
But everything is rearranged.
I’m playing the role of the buddy, the pal
The "everything is cool" kind of gal
But I’m screaming inside when you laugh that way
‘Cause I remember when that laugh wanted me to stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
You told me that you tried your best
That you put our short romance to rest
Said, "I care for you, just not like that"
So why are we sitting here having a chat?
(Chorus)
If I’m not the one, then hang up the phone
If you don't love me, let me be alone
You say it’s platonic, you say we’re just friends
But this conversation never seems to end.
You say you tried, but the feeling wasn't true
So why is it so hard for you to say adieu?
Stop asking how I am, stop being so kind
If you left my heart, then get out of my mind.
(Bridge)
Maybe you’re lonely, maybe you’re scared
Maybe you miss the way that I cared
Or maybe you’re lying to yourself again
Using "friendship" to hide the pain.
You say you don't love me the way that I do...
(Pause / Music drops out)
Then why does it feel like you’re losing me too?
(Guitar Solo)
(Sad, sweeping melody)
(Chorus)
If I’m not the one, then hang up the phone!
If you don't love me, let me be alone!
You say it’s platonic, you say we’re just friends
But this conversation never seems to end!
You say you tried, but the feeling wasn't true
So why is it so hard for you to say adieu?
Stop asking how I am, stop being so kind
If you left my heart, then get out of my mind.
(Outro)
Get out of my mind...
But see you tomorrow at ten.
We’ll do the "Best Friend Act" again.
Yeah... see you at ten.
