I'd wait with the mailbox in my hands
For postcards that you'd type
I'd wait for that red flag to flip up
For you I'd bare mine so white
I'd wait for the calls that never came
And I don't know why
Because you'd always be with someone else
That all-too-important other guy
Call me when you wash your make up off and your hair dye fades
When you wake up next to no one because you've thrown them all away
When you realize you're no more than nothing
When your words are more than lies
Call me when you f*cking grow up
Or never again is fine.
You left me claiming a million different things
I tried so hard for you to stay
You never loved me all along
I never needed you anyway
Well, now you're with him and I'm here with the truth
And I don't suppose you care
At least I can take solace in the fact
His heart will be another you'll tear
Part of me still dreams of our New Year fireworks
Your heartbeat is his favorite song
He tries to sing it as best he can
Because he knows it's forever gone
That part of me still keeps waiting for that call
While the other's consumed with hate and envy
'Cause to someone who, before you, never knew love
It was their one and only reason to breathe
