well, i've dated my best friend for 4 years and let me tell you it was one of the greatest relationships i've ever seen

I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember The people we used to be It's even harder to picture That you're not here next to me You say it's too late to make it But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted All of our bridges burned down I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time, when we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise I'm at a payphone, trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? If "happy ever after" did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full of it One more stupid love song, I'll be sick, oh You turned your back on tomorrow 'Cause you forgot yesterday I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away You can't expect me to be fine I don't expect you to care I know I've said it before But all of our bridges burned down I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time When we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? If "happy ever after" did exist I would still be holding you like this And all those fairy tales are full of it One more stupid love song, I'll be sick Now I'm at a payphone Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah Now, baby, don't hang up So I can tell you what you need to know Baby, I'm begging you, just please don't go So I can tell you what you need to know Yeah, I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two? If "happy ever after" did exist I would still be holding you like this And all these fairy tales are full of it Yeah, one more stupid love song, I'll be sick Now I'm at a payphone
