Here I am by the phone,
Even though I know I shouldn't,
I know on you I shouldn't depend,
Because I know you're only a friend
Your promises,
Laced with romance,
Are soft to the touch,
But coarse to the heart,
Because deep down,
I feel we will forever be apart
Your promises,
Have held me in place,
The place of uncertain oblivion
Who are we?
I can't be sure
For if you really cared,
The distance wouldn't matter
And our time would be shared
These silent calls,
Make your empty promises,
More unfulfilled
Your promises are gold,
They twinkle and shine,
But have no substance
I am the fool,
Of your stash of fool's gold
I shouldn't become so attached
After all, we won't last
I know you don't see it,
But I do
I see the end
And you're not there
Still by the phone,
Thinking to call
But I shouldn't
Because your promises get me high
And I can't deal with,
Your side effects
