Why do I keep checking my phone
Hoping and hoping that there'll be a message from you?
Or that you might just call?
Why is that glimmer of hope still lurking in the shadows?
I want you gone;
Out of my life,
Out of my mind,
Out of my thoughts,
Out of my dreams.
But still hope is lurking
Even when we haven't talked for weeks.
Even after I decided I didn't want to care anymore.
Honestly I don't want to care anymore.
Not when you never did,
Not after you used me,
Not after everything that passed between us.
I just want to forget it all;
Forget that it happened,
Forget that we ever met,
Forget that I fell in love with you.
I want this hope to leave
Never to come back.
But it's hiding in the shadows;
Just like in Pandora's box
Hope is the last to go.
Why do I keep checking my phone
Hoping and hoping that there'll be a message from you?
