Toby Lightman - Operator (That`s Not the Way It Feels)

Operator well could you help me
place this call
See, the number on the
matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L A
with my ex best friend they say
A girl she said it knew well
and sometimes hated.
Isn't that the way they
say it goes
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number
if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em
I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow,
I’ve learned to take it well
I only wish my words could
just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but
that's not the way it feels
Operator, well could you help me
place this call
Well, I can't read the number
that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes,
you know it happens every time
I think about a love that
I thought would save me.
Isn't that the way
they say it goes
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number
if you can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em
I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow,
I’ve learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just
convince myself
That it just wasn't real,
but that's not the way it feels.
No, no,
that's not the way it feels.
Operator, well
let's forget about this call
There's no one there
I really wanted to talk to.
Thank you for your time,
ah, you've been so much
more than kind
And you can keep the dime
Isn't that the way
they say it goes
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number
if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em
I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow,
I’ve learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just
convince myself
That it just wasn't real
Oh I’ve learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just
convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
No, no, no,
that's not the way it feels.
