I heard about your trip

I heard about your souveniers

I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys

That you spent them with

I guess I should have heard of them from you

I guess I should have heard of them from you



Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?

And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards

Go to you

So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I'll let you

You will be back some day

And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips

Will be of service

To keeping you away



I heard about your regrets

I heard that you were feeling sorry

I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us

Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you

I guess I should have heard of that from you



Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?

And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards

Go to you

So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you

You will be back someday

And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips

Will be of service to keeping you away

To keeping you away



I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers

I'll be all right when my hands get warm

Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing

I'd rather you'd never heard my voice



You're calling too late, too late to be gracious

And you do not warrant long good-byes

You're calling too late

You're calling too late

You're calling too late
