Long distance. last good-bye
Can't give it one last try
It's all over, we didn't even cry
All I know is that the world came between us
And the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye

Did you burn my pictures yet?
Anything to try to forget
It's all over, It's all I can do to stay on the line
All I know is that the world came between us
And the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye

We both know how hard it is for both of us to try
We both know how hot it is in Texas in July
So what am I supposed to say?
How's the weather anyway?
This time I called to say good-bye
Who'd have thought it would end like this?
Without even a good-bye kiss
No one could say we didn't try
The years flew past, we tried to make it last
But the love got left behind
No news flash, funeral, half-mast flags
On the day that our love died
I'd tell you face to face
If I could look you in the eye
So I just called to say good-bye
I just called to say
There's nothing really left to say, so...
I just called to say good-bye
