lyrics

Hello darling, how you been?
Well I have never been better
We'll talk about all our new friends
And how we're gonna have the best life ever
I'll tell you that I've been writing new songs
And that work is going well
And life is moving right along

But how can I tell you that I've had a bad night
When you seem so happy with your new life
I'm glad you can't see me 'cross the telephone lines
The tears fall so easy when I say that I'm fine

I get mad at New Jersey
For swallowing you up
But god forbid that I
get in the way of doing what you love
As much as I miss you
I wouldn't want you anywhere else
I say that even when I know
That I am lying to myself

How can I tell you that I've had a bad night
When you seem so happy with your new life
I'm glad you can't see me 'cross the telephone lines
The tears fall so easy when I say that I'm fine

You made a promise that you'd come back for me
I am your Indiana, waiting patiently
There's runs in my stockings, and holes in my dress
Though I fall to pieces I know you won't forget
