Lose Someone Like Me

Hello, my old friend

I never thought we'd meet again

I told myself I didn't care about you

And since you left, you look so well

The best of me has been through Hell

But if you asked, I wouldn't talk about it

Oh, hello, my old friend

If you were here, then I'd pretend

That I don't sit and fantasize about us

Where you are, where you live now

And did you leave your parents' house

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me

Oh, hello, it's been a while

My number's changed in case you've tried

To call my name, 'cause I have dialed a thousand times before

And I'd hang up before it calls 'cause things aren't like they were before

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

Oh, hello, my old friend

If you were here, then I'd pretend

That I don't sit and fantasize about us

Where you are, where you live now

And did you leave your parents' house

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me

All of the voices, hear all of them saying

Don't leave me, don't leave me

I need you to stay here with me

Oh, believe me, I don't let it show

How could you just let me go?

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me
