Payphone feat Wiz Khalifa
Maroon 5 Lyrics

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
I'm at a payphone, trying to call the person I thought I had a future with, but now I'm not sure where things stand.

All of my change I spent on you
I invested everything I had in our relationship, but it still wasn't enough.

Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
We've lost something important, and it feels like we're living in a world where nothing is quite right.

Where are the plans we made for two
We had a vision for our future together, but somehow those plans have fallen apart.

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
I understand that we've both changed, and it's difficult to reconcile who we are now with who we used to be.

The people we used to be
We were different people when we first fell in love, and now it's hard to recognize that version of ourselves.

It's even harder to picture
It's difficult to imagine a future without you in it, even though we're struggling in the present.

That you're not here next to me
I miss you, and it's painful to navigate life without you by my side.

You say it's too late to make it
You've given up hope on our relationship and don't think there's any chance for us to work things out.

But is it too late to try
I still have faith that we can work things out if we're both willing to put in the effort.

And in our time that you wasted
You've spent a lot of time in this relationship, but now it feels like it was all for nothing.

All of our bridges burned down
We've ruined our chances of repairing our relationship and moving forward together.

I've wasted my nights
I've spent countless nights thinking about what went wrong and how things could have been different.

You turned out the lights
You left, and now my world feels dark and empty without you.

Now I'm paralyzed
I'm stuck in this feeling of being unable to move on from you, even though it's causing me pain.

Still stuck in that time
I'm caught in a cycle of holding onto the past and longing for what we once had.

When we called it love
We used to believe that what we had was real and lasting love, but now that feels like a distant memory.

But even the sun sets in paradise
Even though we once thought we had a perfect relationship and a bright future, things can still fall apart and end in heartache.

If Happy Ever Afters did exist
If true love and forever happiness were achievable, I would still want to be with you.

I would still be holding you like this
I would do anything to keep you close to me and keep our love alive.

All those fairy tales are full of shit
The fairy tale version of love that we grew up believing in is not reflective of the reality of relationships.

One more fucking love song, I'll be sick
I'm exhausted by the concept of love and how it can bring so much joy and so much pain.

Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
You're no longer invested in our future, and you've abandoned the idea of building a life together.

'Cause you forgot yesterday
You've let go of our past and everything we shared, as if it never mattered to you at all.

I gave you my love to borrow
I trusted you with my heart, believing that you would cherish it and keep it safe.

But you just gave it away
You didn't value my love or our relationship, and you let it slip through your fingers without a fight.

You can't expect me to be fine
You've hurt me deeply, and it's unfair to expect me to just move on and be okay after what you've done.

I don't expect you to care
I don't think you're capable of understanding how much your actions have impacted me.

I know I've said it before
I've expressed my feelings and tried to get through to you before, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Man, fuck that shit
I'm tired of feeling sad and heartbroken over you.

I'll be out spending all this money
I'm going to focus on myself and indulge in things that make me happy, rather than dwelling on our failed relationship.

While you're sitting round wondering
You're likely still thinking about us and what went wrong, but I'm not going to let that bring me down.

Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing
I've come a long way and achieved success, and you're probably regretting the fact that you didn't stay by my side.

Made it from the bottom
I started with very little and worked my way to where I am now, and I did it without you.

Now when you see me I'm stunting
When you do happen to see me, you'll see that I've done well for myself and that I'm not letting our failed relationship hold me back.

And all of my cars start with a push of a button
I have achieved a level of success that allows me to live a life of luxury and convenience.

Telling me the chances I blew up
You're probably thinking about all the opportunities we missed out on as a couple and how different things could have been.

Or whatever you call it
You might not even know what to call our relationship at this point or how to define what we had.

Switch the number to my phone
I'm cutting ties and moving on from you, and I don't want you to have any way of getting in touch with me.

So you never could call it
I don't want to hear from you anymore or have any reminders of what we once had.

Don't need my name on my show
I don't need to be in the spotlight or have everyone know who I am to be successful and happy.

You can tell it I'm ballin'
I'm doing well for myself, and I don't need anyone else to validate my success or happiness.
