Payphone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 that time that you wasted

All of our bridges burnt 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 shit

One more fucking love song, I'll be sick

Ohhh

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 said it before

But all of our bridges burnt 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 shit

One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone

Now baby don't hang up

So I can tell you what you need to know

Baby I'm begging just please don't go

So I can tell you what you need to know

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 fairytales are full of shit

One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone
