Lyric

Call me when he's gone

You know I'll pick it up

Say we should just be friends

But we both know that's not us

You hit my phone at 1:05

Same little lie, same Friday night

Said you're alone, but I know better

His name still on your favorite sweater

I shouldn't ask where you've been

You shouldn't ask if I'm coming in

We know exactly how this goes

You pull me close, then send me home

I play it cool like I don't care

Like I don't notice he's still there

But every time you leave my bed

I hear his name inside my head

You say, "don't make it complicated"

Baby, we're already way too far

You only want me when you hate him

Then disappear back in his arms

Call me when he's gone

Call me when you're lonely

Tell me that I'm wrong

Then put your hands all on me

You say it's the last time

We say that every night

Call me when he's gone

I'll pick up every time

When he's gone

When he's gone

You know I'll pick up

You said we could still be friends

So I believed you for a minute

Met for coffee, talked like strangers

Both pretending nothing's different

You told me everything was good

I smiled the way I knew I should

But every time you checked your phone

I wondered if he brought you home

I don't wanna hear about him

Don't wanna ask if you're in love

Don't wanna be the one you run to

When he doesn't give enough

'Cause having half of you around

Just makes me miss what we became

I'd rather lose you all at once

Than hear you call me just a friend

Maybe I was stupid thinking

I could keep you in my life

Without touching, without kissing

Without wishing you were mine

Call me when he's gone

Call me when you're lonely

Tell me that I'm wrong

Then put your hands all on me

You say it's the last time

We say that every night

Call me when he's gone

I'll pick up every time

So if I stop replying

Please don't think I hate you

I'm just trying not to want you

The way I always do

Maybe losing you completely

Is the only way I heal

'Cause I don't know how to be your friend

When everything still feels this real

I thought that we could still be friends

Guess I was lying to myself

I can't sit here and watch you love

Somebody, wishing it was me instead

Maybe someday it'll be easy

Maybe I'll learn to let you down

But seeing you again just made me realize

We can't even be friends now

Not your lover

Not your friend

Don't call me when he's gone

Again
