One O'clock in the Morning

It's one o'clock in the morning
and I'm sitting here alone,
just watching the clock
and praying for the phone to ring
or to get an email from you.

I always act so strong,
everyone says how I never break
but when I'm forced to miss you...
I'm just not myself,
I fall all to pieces.

Everytime you go away
and I'm left just holding onto memories,
you take the most important part of me
and leave behind a gaping hole
healed only by your return to me.

Sitting alone in the dark
I watch the stars and planes fly over
and wish that one of them
was bringing you to me,
just wishing I had you.

I'm smiling and acting so strong
but in the silence around me
the tears can freely fall without guilt,
like a stabbing pain right through my heart
this loneliness eats away at me.

It's one o'clock in the morning
and I'm sitting here alone,
just watching the clock
and praying for the phone to ring
or to get an email from you.

Everywhere I look,
every face that passes by me,
I find myself looking for you,
every voice that I hear,
I hear you saying the words.

Trying to go about my life
and act like my heart isn't broken
but every time I have to live without you...
I'd give everything I have
just to be laying in your arms.

When I close my eyes at night
I imagine that you're kissing my forehead,
that you're holding me so safe with your arms around me,
imagining that I can hear you whispering
softly that you love me.

It's one o'clock in the morning
and I'm sitting here alone,
just watching the clock
and praying for the phone to ring
or to get an email from you.

The thousands of miles between us
seem farther every day
and everytime we try to bridge it
it seems like it never works,
baby I need you with me.

Watching the mood rise and set
and the stars shoot across the sky
through tear stained eyes
I send a quietly whispered prayer
that you're missing me as well.

Wherever you are baby,
whatever you're doing tonight,
I hope you know that I love you,
that I'm missing you so very much,
I'm hoping you're ok.

It's one o'clock in the morning
and I'm sitting here alone,
just watching the clock
and praying for the phone to ring
or to get an email from you.
