Oh, Hello

Didn’t come here looking for you

Just a drink and a dark corner

Then a shoulder hit mine

And the whole night went colder

Shoulder to shoulder, didn’t look up

Didn’t know who I’d hit

Then our eyes locked and the whole room stopped

And all I could say was “oh, hello”

You wanted a ring, I wanted more time

Kid with a heart too big for his spine

You said “someday” like it was a promise

I said “someday” like it was a crime

Then you found him in my circle

I found out in the dark

You took my friend, you took my future

Left me with the spark

Oh, hello

That’s all we got

Oh, hello

Don’t you say my name

Hello — that’s all we got

Standing in a crowded bar

Years of love, and that’s the spot

Hello — that’s all we got

You wanted to say something

I wanted to say a lot

Hello — that’s all we got

You looked like you had more to say

I looked like I already knew

We let the bar swallow the silence

Then I turned and walked back through

Then I heard he did to you

Exactly what you did to me

And suddenly it all made sense

Why you looked at me that way

You stayed. I walked.

You chose the wreckage twice.

I’m the one who got away

And I don’t know if that’s a win.

Hello — that’s all we got

Standing in a crowded bar

You stayed and I walked off

Hello — that’s all we got

You wanted to say something

I wanted to say a lot

Hello — that’s all we got

Still don’t know what to say

Hello.

Just hello.

And I still don’t know what to say.
