About the song
I heard an ex-girlfriend of mine used to complain about how "awkward" our friendship was and how ridiculous I was because I CLEARLY hadn't moved on...hearing that news made it VERY easy to move on!
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I hear your whispers into my ear.
The sounds are soft but the words are clear.
You say I haven't moved on...
I'm sad and lonely all on my own.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to lead you on;
I'm sorry you bought into sad songs...
'cause I'm doin' alright. Everything's just fine.
Chorus:
I must be sittin' here by the phone
waiting for you to call.
I must be cryin' here all alone
wondering why you don't miss me at all.
I'm sorry baby,but that ain't the case
Oh,I let it all go...
I'm happy now I just thought I'd let you know...
Verse 2:
I heard you asked about me yesterday.
you wondered when I was goin' away.
You heard I'm leavin' town.
Yeah,there's no room here for BOTH me and your crown!
Bridge:
My inspiration's this medication
The tears I paid with [have] filled these pages.
Now everyday I'm a little better,
a little bit farther from you...
'Cause I'm doin' alright.
Everything's just fine.
Chorus:
You must be sittin' there by the phone,
waiting for me to call.
You must be cryin' there all alone,
wondering why I don't miss you at all.
I'm sorry baby,that's just the case!
Oh,I let it all go.
I'm happy now,I just needed to let you go...
I hear your whispers into my ear.
The sounds are soft but the words are clear.
You say I haven't moved on...
I'm sad and lonely all on my own.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to lead you on;
I'm sorry you bought into sad songs...
'cause I'm doin' alright. Everything's just fine.
Chorus:
I must be sittin' here by the phone
waiting for you to call.
I must be cryin' here all alone
wondering why you don't miss me at all.
I'm sorry baby,but that ain't the case
Oh,I let it all go...
I'm happy now I just thought I'd let you know...
Verse 2:
I heard you asked about me yesterday.
