I answer the phone just to hear you breathe the air
A ghost in the static,
you're everywhere and nowhere
I get text with an emoji in a space
And I keep building a future in this empty place
My friends all tell me to finally let it go
But they don't understand the only life I know
Not in my arms,
but still in my head Tearing out the pages of the words we never said
It's a beautiful lie,
this painful little song,
cause the love is dead
But you keep me hanging
on Yeah,
you keep me hanging on
You touch a desk but you leave one single shoe
A small cruel reminder of everything we're through
You mention a movie we plan to go and see A casual comment
that just destroys me
A promise you might call me sometime soon
I'm just a fool waiting for the moon to come
back home
Not in my arms,
but still in my head
Tearing out the pages of the words we never said
It's a beautiful lie,
this painful little song,
cause the love is dead
But you keep me hanging on Yeah,
you keep me hanging on
If you don't want me,
then set me free Stop throwing little lifelines into this cold
sea Stop giving me hope,
stop giving me the highs
I can't take the lightening in your maybe skies
Just cut the rope,
just shut the door
Don't make me love you anymore
You're not in my arms,
but still in my head Tearing out the pages of the words we never
said It's a beautiful lie,
this painful little
song, cause the love is dead
But you keep me hanging on
Yeah, you keep me hanging on
Hanging on a thread Hanging on every
word you've never said
Why won't you let me go?
You keep me hanging on
