I called an old friend on the phone
I was tired, and alone
We talked of how the times had flown
Feeling tired, but still alone
Oh, so alone
Half the time we're telling them a lie
We're telling them a lie
When we say we'll never say goodbye
We're telling them a lie
Why can't you believe what you have done
It took you all the way to number one
Cause now I play the small sad halls, she said
And you can bet, she said
There'll always be
An empty row
Half the time they're telling us a lie
They're telling us a lie
When we say we'll never say goodbye
We're telling them a lie
A lie
A lie..
