I tell myself I would be just alright alone
Least I was before I met you
I find the reasons to believe that theres still a chance
Though it doesn't match up with the truth
If you want me wouldn't you think of me
Wouldn't I cloud your mind
I you need me wouldn't you call for me
Or is that a fault of mine
Tell the truth and let me go
Theres more pain if I don't know
Instead waiting by the telephone
I could make a life of my own
You're makin it hard babe
The day may come when you know what you've done
I cannot wait I will not stay
You may cry for a night like you've lost your prize
I cannot wait I will not stay
I think of all the broken hearts that have paved my past
And I ask them for forgiveness
I could not have know how many sleepless nights
I would take me to forget this
If you don't want me is too much to ask
for you not say otherwise
If you could leave me so damn easily
Do you just enjoy the lies
Tell the truth and let me go
Theres more pain if I don't know
Instead waiting by the telephone
I could make a life of my own
You're makin it hard babe
The day may come when you know what you've done
I cannot wait I will not stay
You may cry for a night like you've lost your prize
I cannot wait I will not stay
Lest I wish pain upon myself I'm never coming back
You turn away from me once more to make sure of that
Oh make sure of that
The day may come when you know what you've done
I cannot wait I will not stay
You may cry for a night like you've lost your prize
I cannot wait I will not stay
