Payphone Hearts

Calling out into the night, echoes bounce off empty walls

Thoughts of us, they fade away, shadows in the hall

Hard to remember the days we knew, plans we drew in dreams

Now it’s just silent tears and a memory that seems

To fade like the sunset, slipping out of view

Was it all just fairytale? Guess it was never true

I know you said it’s too late to mend the broken parts

But I’m still here, holding on, trying to heal my heart

All these wasted nights, the bridges burned to ash

Wish I knew then what I know now, wish I could turn back

I’m at a payphone crying, trying to call home

All of my change spent on memories alone

Where did our moments go, baby, tell me where?

Plans we made for forever, now just empty air

If happy ever after was real, I’d keep loving you

But fairy tales are full of lies, and I’m breaking through

One more love song, just make me sick

‘Cause I’m caught in this heartbreak, it’s a thick

Layer of regret and pain, can’t undo what’s been done

Wish I could rewrite the story, be the one

That found a way back to your heart

But now I’m lost in the dark, falling apart

Time slipped away, like grains of sand

We pushed away, what we should understand

Love’s a fire that burns, and I can’t forget

Hoping you’ll hear this note, and maybe, just maybe, forget

All the love we had, it’s gone with the wind

All I want is to love you again, let’s begin

But I know it’s too late, the chapter’s closed

Still I call your name, searching for what I missed most
