Waiting

I sit here alone inside my room
Right by the grey phone
I keep waiting for you
But you never call, never come

My heart is dieing inside my chest
Every moment I wait for you
Knowing that your heart belongs to someone else
Is more than I can bear

Why does this all feel like a fairy tale
Gone horribly wrong, a love story turned awry
Where there is a Once Upon A Time
But never a Happily Every After

I twist and turn and wail and cry
But this is all happening inside
For you I put on smiling, happy face
And hope you don't try to look beneath

I close my eyes when I see your feelings
Posted right where we can all see them
And I die again and again and again
Hoping someday the pain will end

You say you don't care about him anymore
He's over, history, you're done with him
But your status says otherwise dear
Even as you carry on

And I don't think you realize the effects
Of your careless, thoughtless words
You don't see the way my body crumbles
When you talk of love

My soul is ripped in half
And I can't stand it anymore
I want to cut I want to scream
But I know I would never dare

I keep waiting, waiting
By the telephone
Hoping someday you'll call
Knowing you never will...
