Hello
Emily Burns Lyrics

D'you know how many lies I've had to tell my friends?
I've lied to my friends so many times about why I'm not over you

How many nights I've seen out to the end?
There have been countless nights where I've stayed up late, unable to sleep because I can't stop thinking about you

Lost count of the times I've rewritten
I've edited and changed my messages to you numerous times, trying to perfectly convey my thoughts and feelings

Messages I'll never send
Despite my efforts to craft the perfect message, I can never bring myself to hit send

If you knew all the ways I tried to forget
I've tried every method possible to move on from you, but nothing seems to work

All the days that I've wasted lying in my bed
There have been so many days where I've just stayed in bed, feeling sorry for myself because I can't shake you from my mind

If you knew that it breaks every little
Every time you leave, it shatters a part of me

Piece of me each time you leave
Leaving me feeling incomplete and desperate for your return

Baby, then maybe you wouldn't call
If you understood the pain you cause, you would stop reaching out to me

Maybe then you'd just leave me alone
I need space to heal and move on, but you keep interrupting my progress

'Cause I can't help but fall apart
I am broken without you and can't hold myself together

Got me right back at the start
I'm always back to square one, no matter how hard I try

Funny how you always know
You have a way of reading my emotions and appearing when I'm vulnerable

When I'm 'bout to let you go
Just as I'm about to move on, you resurface and make it difficult for me to break free from you

You show up and say hello
You re-enter my life with casual ease, as if nothing has changed between us

And I wish that I could block you out
I want to shut you out of my life, but I can't resist the temptation you bring

But, damn, you got your timing down
You always seem to come back at the exact moment I am weakest and most vulnerable

D'you know how many dates I've dragged myself to
I've gone on countless dates with other people, trying to move on from you

Dulling the ache with somebody new
I try to forget you by filling the void with someone else, but it never works

But then all that it takes is just a little
Despite my best efforts, all it takes is a small reminder of you to undo all of my progress

Word from you, if only you knew
If you understood the power you have over me, you would stop contacting me

Just a late drunken text
Even a small, meaningless message from you can set me off and make me miss you

You'll be fine, I'm a mess
I'm still struggling to move on while you seem unaffected by our separation

'Cause it's nothing to you
You don't seem to cherish our past relationship the way I do

You got nothing to lose
You can walk away without any repercussions, while I am left with the heartache

And I'll never say no
I can't resist your advances, even though I know they will only cause me more pain in the long run

'Cause I'm stuck in the hope you'll stay
I can't help but hope that we have a chance to rekindle our romance and be happy together again

But I guess I kinda miss you, so
Despite all of the hurt you've caused me, I still miss you and long for your presence in my life

I don't mind one more hello
I know it's not healthy, but I can't resist the temptation of your attention and affection
