  • I heard about your trip
    I heard about your souvenirs
    I heard about the cool breeze and 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 let you
    You will be back someday
    And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
    Will be of service to giving you away

    I heard about your regrets
    I heard that you were feeling sorry
    I heard from someone that you wished 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

    Well 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 giving you away

    I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
    I'll be alright when my hands get warm
    Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing
    I'd rather you never heard my voice
    You're calling too late, too late to be gracious
    You do not warrant long goodbyes
    You're calling too late
    You're calling too late
    You're calling too late Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANDREW CARRABBA
