Verse 1:
I heard about your trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze,
and the cool nights, and the
cool guys, that you spent them with.
Prechorus:
I guess I should have heard of them from you.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.
Chorus:
Don t you see, don t you see,
that the charade is over.
And all the best deceptions
and the clever cover story
awards go to you.
Verse 2:
(ring)
So kiss me hard,
Cause this will be the last time that I ll let you.
You will be back someday
and this awkward kiss that tells of
other people s lips will be of service
to giving you a - way.

Verse 3:
I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wish you could
set things right between us.
Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you.
I guess I should have heard of that from you.
Chorus:
Don t you see, don t you see,
that the charade is over.

Outro:
I m waiting for blood to flow to my fingers.

I ll be alright when my hands get warm.
Ignoring the phone. I d rather say nothing.

I d rather you never heard my voice.
You re calling too late...
Too late to be gracious.

You do not warrant long goodbyes.
You re calling too late...
You re calling too late...

You re calling too late...
