I’m lying here waiting
For a text, or a call
Now this is frustrating
It’s like today means nothing at all
When actually today was meant to be
A turning point
A reconciliation of you and me
I should get used to being disappointed.

I’m waiting here
With my telephone waiting near
Waiting for just a call
From someone we want more
Than anything else right now
I’m not calling you, that’s my vow.

Every minute passed
Feels like an hour in the past
Time seems to be going backward
I wish you would call, it’s my reward
For waiting here for so long
I just need to persist and stay strong
Every minute from now
Seems like an hour somehow.

I’m waiting here
With my telephone waiting near
Waiting for just a call
From someone we want more
Than anything else right now
I’m not calling you, that’s my vow.

I just need to see you
I haven’t felt you in so long, too long
It’s why I write this song
Because I miss you so much
I just want to feel you, touch you
I’m waiting here
My telephone kept near
I’m not calling you
That’s just a mock
Oh maybe I’ll call you
At 11 o’clock.

When you’re happy
I’m happy
When you’re high
I’m high
When you’re drunk on life
That’s when I’m
That’s when I’m alive.

When you’re down
I’m down
I always seem to
Perfectly mimic
Your hidden frown
Especially when you’re not around.

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat
Your mood is reflected in me
I really can’t stop feeling that
You think we’re not meant to be
Because you fall in your pit
And you say you’re confused
But that’s the thing
That’s just it
Now you just make me feel used
Used, used, used.

When you feel
Feel like you’re on the edge
Please, for me, make this pledge
That you’ll try harder
Hard enough for me to feel
That we’re not just
Running round a never-ending wheel.

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat
Your mood is reflected in me
I really can’t stop feeling that
You think we’re not meant to be
Because you fall in your pit
And you say you’re confused
But that’s the thing
That’s just it
Now you just make me feel used
Used, used, used.

Your heart, your soul
So fragile, so delicate
Are locked up by this gate
But your heart is mine
My soul is yours
And my mind is still yet to find
I hope it’s linked between your thoughts
Because you don’t show to me
What I think you ought to
And now I worry all the time
That you’re no longer on cloud 9.

You can’t see that I’m a copy cat
Your mood is reflected in me
I really can’t stop feeling that
You think we’re not meant to be
Because you fall in your pit
And you say you’re confused
But that’s the thing
That’s just it
Now you just make me feel used
Used, used, used.

I thought I knew why
You broke my heart that night
I thought I knew why
You made me die inside
I thought I knew how
I could get over you
I thought I knew how
I could at least try to.

I know the truth
Don’t ask me how
Be right back, I need to make my noose
Because all I want to do is die right now
You should have been honest
It’s only been 1 week
And knew it was inevitable, and I detest
The truth because you’ve made me weak.

You got over that quickly, didn’t you?
I thought you’d need a little more time
To become normal again, but that’s not true
I forgave you for choosing not to be mine
But now you’ve moved on, you kept things from me
I take it back, I’ve nothing but contempt for you
Forgive you? No. Don’t like it? Well, boo-hoo
You should have thought of that beforehand, now let me be.

I know the truth
Don’t ask me how
Be right back, I need to make my noose
Because all I want to do is die right now
You should have been honest
It’s only been 1 week
And knew it was inevitable, and I detest
The truth because you’ve made me weak.

I’ve felt a rainbow of emotion
Colours from passion to jealousy
Shades of love and hate
You’re too blind to see
You’re too late
Watch my teary eyes glisten; you’re unforgiven.

I know the truth
Don’t ask me how
Be right back, I need to make my noose
Because all I want to do is die right now
You should have been honest
It’s only been 1 week
And knew it was inevitable, and I detest
The truth because you’ve made me weak.

Watch my teary eyes glisten; you’re unforgiven.

Your blank expression
Says a thousand words
But the sound from your mouth
Is silent, it’s absurd
I wait for words, an explanation
You wait for courage to say
Words that could send me in
The opposite direction.

I’m sitting, frozen, in anticipation
With the fear of what’s approached
I need peace, I need protection
But it’s not those that I need the most
I need your embrace, your reassurance
That everything will be fine
Single sounds tumble out your mouth
As you take my hands
And they mean a hundred lines
Here inside.

The words that follow
Run through my mind
The worst was what
I expected to find
I thought you said
I was one of a kind
As I hold back the tears
I don’t want to show
These words in my mind
Play over, time after time.

As you open up
A tear falls down
What are you saying?
That you don’t want me around?
You reassure me that
That isn’t the case
Then is it something
A lot harder to face?

The words that follow
Run through my mind
The worst was what
I expected to find
I thought you said
I was one of a kind
As I hold back the tears
I don’t want to show
These words in my mind
Play over, time after time.

S
I love everything about you, S
From the way you talk to the way you dress
From your feet to your head
I cherish everything that you said.

I can’t believe things are over, S
Can’t we resolve this stress, this mess?
I love you like I always have done
I could lie with you and float to the sun
But, S, you don’t feel the same way
So I guess tomorrow is a different day.

Your hair, so smooth and jet black
Oh what I’d do to get you back
Your eyes, a wonderful green-brown
And your voice, a lovely kind of sound.

I can’t believe things are over, S
Can’t we resolve this stress, this mess?
I love you like I always have done
I could lie with you and float to the sun
But, S, you don’t feel the same way
So I guess tomorrow is a different day.

You have your flaws and so do I
But of course I’m always willing to put them aside
I’d never ask you to be someone new
Because then you just wouldn’t be you.

I can’t believe things are over, S
Can’t we resolve this stress, this mess?
I love you like I always have done
I could lie with you and float to the sun
But, S, you don’t feel the same way
So I guess tomorrow is a different day.

S, I’ll never forget you
I’ll never stop loving you
I saw a side to you that no one knew
And maybe one day, you’ll feel the way I do too.

I’m struggling to breathe
Please, please, just rescue me
My lungs feel so tight inside
I’ve lost my sight
I fear I’m blind
Because I just don’t see why
You can’t save me from my
Untimely demise.

Do you really love me?
I gasp through each breath
Are we really just good friends?
Because I really fail to see
Why you can’t accept
We’re together, you and me
But you think that getting rid
Will in turn set me free.

As we’re nearing our end
At least you hope we can still be friends
But through my sighs of greed
It’s not friendship, but love I need
And now I’m dreading what comes next
Because now I take my last breath.

Why can’t you feel what I feel?
I’m begging now, see me kneel
As I watch you watch me now
I feel a kind of pity somehow
Because you always question everything
And when you lose me you’ll have nothing.

As we’re nearing our end
At least you hope we can still be friends
But through my sighs of greed
It’s not friendship, but love I need
And now I’m dreading what comes next
Because now I take my last breath.

And now I take my last breath
So I can start and make a fresh
Beginning in life
For me and for you
I wish you all the best
As I...
Take my last breath.

Why do I assume the worst?
Telling me riddles
I think they’re going to hurt
I think you’re going to hurt me
When just thinking it makes it so
I feel like running, leaving, getting away
I need to find some place to go
Somewhere safe, away from here
Somewhere I have nothing to fear.

I’m sorry I do this to you
I’m sorry I cry
At every little thing
That passes us by
Every serious note
Every meaningful line
I’m sorry I think it’s over
I’m sorry I’m not fine.

Today, today, today
What is today, may be no more
Today, today, today
Could be our last day
Not together anymore
But this is why I desperately need
To stop, just stop thinking
You’re trying to flee
Because all I want
Is a you and me.

I’m sorry I do this to you
I’m sorry I cry
At every little thing
That passes us by
Every serious note
Every meaningful line
I’m sorry I think it’s over
I’m sorry I’m not fine.

It’s just I feel
You’re too good to be true
When you’re with me
And I’m with you
The feelings inside me
My feelings for you
Get bigger and better
After a little something new.

I’m sorry I do this to you
I’m sorry I cry
At every little thing
That passes us by
Every serious note
Every meaningful line
I’m sorry I think it’s over
I’m sorry I’m not fine.
