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..
