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

So I just called to say there's nothing really left to say, so...
i just called to say good-bye
