Come to terms that your car ain't gonna be parked in my drive
Now my heart doesn't stop when I see one passing by
I can talk 'bout you now without wanting to cry
Smell of you slowly fades every time I wash my clothes
Fear of you goes away like old places we'd go
I don't skip all our songs when they're on the radio

Oh, isn't this always how the story goes?
Yeah, isn't this always how the story goes?

I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't care at all
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from the fall
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
Baby, why'd you have to call?

It's like you started to sense I'm doing good on my own
9:02 on a Thursday when I picked up the phone
Do you miss me or are you just scared to be alone?

'Cause isn't this always how the story goes?
Oh, isn't this always how the story goes?

I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't care at all
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from the fall
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Salt in the wound like you can't even imagine
Know that you do it 'cause you're craving a reaction
Do you get some kind of sick satisfaction
Knowing I'm gonna have to pick myself up all over again?

'Cause isn't this always how the story goes?

Oh, I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't care at all
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from the fall
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Why'd you have to call?
So why'd you have to call?
