Hello   You're saying hello   Like it means goodbye      If I would listen to the words that you say   I could hold on for a while   I could go on, baby, fooling myself   I could even manage a smile      But believing isn't easy to do   When your words just don't ring true   And I know that slowly but surely   I'm losing you      And though it sounds like you're saying hello   With every word that you say, I want to cry   It sounds like you're saying hello   But it feels like you mean goodbye      Oh, I don't know if I heard it in the tone of your voice   Or saw it hidden deep in your eyes   But you could say you love me and then leave me in the morning   And you know, I wouldn't be surprised      Yes, I've known you much too long   Not to feel when something is wrong   And when the words and the music aren't right   It's not the same song      And yes, it sounds like you're saying hello   With every word that you say, I want to cry   'Cause it sounds like you're saying hello   But it feels like you mean goodbye      Yes, I've known you much too long   Not to feel when something is wrong   And when the words and the music aren't right   It's not the same song      And though it sounds like you're saying hello   With every word that you say, I want to cry   'Cause it sounds like you're saying hello   But it feels like you mean goodbye      Yes, it sounds like you're saying hello   With every word that you say, I want to cry   'Cause it sounds like you're saying hello
