shelley segal - answering machine lyrics

[intro]
okay, thanks

[verse 1]
the moment that i write this song
it’s like admitting you’re gone
and that you don’t belong to me anymore
in a single moment it seems
my plans have exploded at the seams
now that i don’t belong to you anymore
with each line i guess i’ll start to heal
but i don’t wanna write this song
not ready to move on from a pain whose wholeness i am just starting to feel
from the moment that you told me
up in your bed in your room that morning
a bed that was mine too for a time, for and from those moments i’m still mourning
and as i get further on, through this song, line by line
i cry a little bit less each time
slowly accepting the fact that you’re no longer mine

[chorus]
and i don’t believe you when you say
that you don’t love me anymore
and i can’t believe that you’d just ride away
leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying
and i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
that i have to let you go
but i’m not ready
not ready to let you go
if you want to i can’t stop you
but baby
please don’t go

[verse 2]
i’m not exactly doing fine
but i’m much better than i thought i’d be
maybe i learned how to hide my emotions from you
you can be cold and hard-lined
you bottle up everything inside
so many bottles baby you better not fall over
but you were so sweet and kind
your arms are still open wide
you’re still holding my hand
you’re still by my side
and i can’t do this, i can’t do it
i think you still love me
i don’t believe you, i won’t believe you but then you tell me that you wanna be with someone new
and while i’m on about this
let me apologise for that last stolen kiss
you were so drunk but it was too good to miss
baby, no wait
i can’t call you that anymore
at least i can still call you that’s better than not seeing you at all maybe
you’re so stubborn i know i can’t push you
but i don’t want to lose you
dude, let me tell you, friends aren’t supposed to get as friendly as you do

[chorus]
and i don’t believe you when you say
that you don’t love me anymore
and i can’t believe that you’d just ride away
leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying
and i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
that i have to let you go
but i’m not ready
not ready to let you go
and if you want to i can’t stop you
but baby
please don’t go

[verse 3]
the moment that i write this song
it means it’s all gone wrong
the moment has gone
the moment, the moment has p-ssed
i thought it would last
i wish i’d learned how to write about happiness while i still had the chance
and as i get further on, through this song, line by line
i cry a little bit less each time
slowly accepting the fact that you’re no longer mine

[chorus]
i don’t want to believe you when you say
that you don’t love me anymore
and i can’t believe that you’d just ride away
leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying
and i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
i know i know i know i know i know i know i noticed that

[outro]
while you left me somehow
you’re still holding my hand
you’re still dancing with me
and it helps to think that we
still have things to laugh and skip about
thank you for giving me something so beautiful
it hurts this much to live without
baby
please don’t go
