The clock tells me it's half past midnight
And I'm sitting alone in the corner of my room
The phone never fails to capture my attention
Because I'm holding my breath to hear from you

Moonlight seeps through gaps in my curtains
And shadows are scattered across the floor
I'm contented to know the night's not so dark
As the full moon makes light hard to ignore

My hopes float among the stars tonight
I am restless with high expectations
Then my phone lights up and I see your face
And my heart knows no limitations

I answer your call and hide my excitement
Soon the minutes fly by and my smile grows
Where your voice alone can send my heart
I think it's safe to say nobody knows

But before I know it the moment is here
The one in which all will be explained
My heart threatens to burst from within me
And my composure refuses to be maintained

As the truth makes its way to the moonlight
I feel as if I'm on a roller coaster ride
Anticipation makes me sick to my stomach
And I try to keep my feelings inside

My question at last is given an answer
And every part of me reacts to reality
Tears from my eyes and pain in my chest
I can't bear the situation's finality

The crushing realization leaves me hollow
But I should have known it from the start
I was always bound to be left with nothing
Except a full moon and an empty heart
