Just got off the phone, I had a ball
Was that your heart or the alcohol
Accusing me of not feeling your pain
Like I'm some heartless fool

We had our chemistry, we tried our best
Expectation, miscommunication left us joyless
Got out before someone got hurt real bad
To me the future seems so clear so so sad

Now we have to let it lie
Now we have to let it lie

So many times I've thought of what I'll miss
The hungry kiss, the laughter in your talk
This is the second time we've reached the abyss
Don't mind if I turn around and walk

You're being icy, sarcastic bite
Saying "whatever's fine for you, all right"
Compare me to your father and all you hate
Don't you know you're making it easier to not cry about it

Now we have to let it die
Now we have to let it die

(horn thing, sax solo)

Now we have to let it lie
Now we have to let it lie
Now we have to let it lie
Now we have to let it lie

Keep Talking in circles on the phone
Then we get together, but we're all alone
Take one more shot at me, baby
Like I've never cared how you feel
