Hello, my old friend
I never thought we'd meet again
I told myself I didn't care about you
And since you left, you look so well
The best of me has been through hell
But if you asked, I wouldn't talk about it
Oh, hello, my old friend
If you were here, then I'd pretend
That I don't sit and fantasise about us
Where you are? Where you live now?
And did you leave your parents' house?
But I don't care, so I don't think about it
We could've been the greatest, but we just made a scene
You can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free
And it was truly somethin', the way you left with ease
It can't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me
To lose someone like me
Oh, hello, it's been awhile
My number's changed, in case you've tried
To call my name 'cause I have dialled a thousand times before
And I'd hang up before it calls
'Cause things aren't like they were before
But I don't care, so I don't think about it
Oh, hello, my old friend
If you were here, then I'd pretend
That I don't sit and fantasise about us
Where you are? Where you live now?
And did you leave your parents' house?
But I don't care, so I don't think about it
We could've been the greatest, but we just made a scene
And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free
And it was truly somethin', the way you left with ease
It can't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me
To lose someone like me
All of the voices, hear all of them saying
"Don't leave me, don't leave me, I need you to stay here with me"
Oh, believe me, I don't let it show
How could you just let me go?
(All of the voices, hear all of the voices)
(All of the voices, hear all of the voices)
(All of the voices, hear all of the voices)
We could've been the greatest, but we just made a scene
And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free
And it was truly something, the way you left with ease
It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me
To lose someone like me
