Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em Iâm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, Iâve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me.
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time --
I think about a love that I thought would save me.

No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels.
Operator, well let's forget about this call --
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to.
Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind.
And you can keep the dime.
