Don't call me baby
Don't send me roses,
Don't do anything that he did.
Because I just can't take it,
I can't take it
Take this broken heart and let me
Rest in pieces without him here
Because I love you so much
As long as you keep your distance
And don't love me as much as he did
Because I just can't take it
So take this broken heart
And let me rest in pieces without you here
And youre no closer than you were yesterday
Just like the stars and the moon and him
I'm running away from you again
Into the arms of a ghost.
