lyrics

I've lost track of time
I swear I've been walking for hours
Through streets lit by TV set windows
I was softly repeating your name
There is nothing to say, so say nothing
I guess that's the game that we're playing
Can it be that you still haven't called?

Where are you tonight?
I've never felt more lost or lonely
I just wish that I felt more surprised
Oh, and for what it's worth, you were right
My timing is always the same
Always too far apart or too late

There's a taste in my mouth
That I can't seem to spit out or stomach
I'm afraid this is making me sick
There is nothing to say, so say nothing
Or were we doing that all along?
Is there any such thing as a time before all of this started?

Where are you tonight?
I've never felt more lost or lonely
I just wish that I felt more surprised
Oh, and for what it's worth, you were right
My timing is always the same
Always too far apart or too late

Don't call, don’t call
If you're just calling late again, please just don't call

And if I seem surprised, don't believe it
I've been practicing playing this part for longer than you know
Rehearsing these lines: "Yeah, I'll be okay"
"I'll be fine", don't worry about me"
And all the while breaking your heart with my casual surrender

And if this is the end, then so be it
This won't be the first or the last time I've written you off

(For you, no truce
No armistice will do
Tonight, you play for keeps
I play for sympathy)

The wish that I made broke every star in the sky
The wish that I made broke every star
