Not A Love Song

I’m sitting by the telephone,
waiting for a call I know will never come.
I’m all alone inside my head,
staring at the place you used to lie, in my bed.


It’s not the same without you here.
But don’t feel flattered, 
I do not miss you, my dear.
I’m consumed with asking why.
The question’s been lingering in my mind. 


It’s been months since our last good-bye.
I hope there’s never a new hello.
So I lay down and close my eyes.
Lights out, head on pillow. 


I’m better off, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long. 


I always was a kind of strong.
You kind of have to be
if you’re trying to get along.
In this world, I do belong.
In your heart, was always a different song.


One that’s full of so much hate.
You drug me down,
and I had more than I could ever take.
How much work does it entail
to rip the pages of every love fairy tale? 


I tried hard to make it all fit right.
lost myself instead.
It took strength to finally end that fight.
But you best believe I did. 


I did.
I’m better off, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long.
Your voice stays in my head, it’s my song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.


I would have done just anything
to take your heart and make it feel the same.
But that was months and months ago.
Today I feel a little differently…so,


Here is my farewell to you:
Go ahead and do what you do.
You’re a boy who won’t be changed.
My heart, the remains, it’s a shame.


I’m better of, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long.
Not for long.
Your voice stays in my head, it’s my song.
Not a love song.
Not  love song.
Get it off of my chest song.
I’m finally gone song.
Feels so good to be gone song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.


It’s been months since our last good-bye.
I hope there’s never a new hello.
Lights out, head on pillow.
