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
