Would Never

I know that sitting near the phone,
Would never make you call.
But every time I hear the ringing,
I still pray to hear your voice.
And when once again it isn't you,
I want to break down and cry.

And I know that walking past you,
Would never make you talk.
But I remember a time when you,
Told me that you really cared.
I held onto the hope for so long,
But I don't see why you'd lie.

And I know that the jokes I make,
Would never make you smile.
But every time that you're around,
I always make an extra effort.
I'm suddenly giving up the chance,
and I don't know why I even try.

And I know that all the memories,
Would never be enough for me.
But I find myself up late at night,
As I hold on to them tightly.
With every reminder of happiness,
I just feel like I want to die.
