I didn't think this'd happen over the Internet
but I've gotten to know you so much
so, so much
too much, i think
because now you talk of leaving
just for a few days, you say
then you'll be back
i wish i could tell you
that I'll miss you more than you'll ever miss me
because now you say
that you want once again to love
to love that girl that lives across the country
because you think you can just pick up the pieces
pick up where you left off
I'm glad you talk with me
I'm glad you're so happy you tell me these things
but right now the icon for the instant messenger blinks at me
like the death toll
ding dong ding
and i don't want to answer this question
i don't want to say goodbye to you
but I'm a coward
pressing the invisible button, i hide within anonymity
so i don't have to answer you
to break my own heart
and tell you the truth
that i don't want you to leave
i don't want to lose you
you have such unhealed pain in your heart
and i can't stand to see you hurt again
i want to tell you
i want to tell you so bad
before you walk out of my life
before you make a mistake
and your broken heart forces you to close off the world
i don't want to sit by any more
i can't go another day without you in my life
but i can't scare you off
i need to wait for you to make the first move
but you're taking too long
and I'm running out of time
maybe you'll open your eyes
and see me standing here
with tears running down my cheeks, waiting
waiting, waiting
but you'll never come
you'll never see
so goodbye, my love
goodbye my prince
maybe you'll look back and see what happened
perhaps you'll see my broken heart
and I'll still be in love with you
even after you're gone
after everyone's gone
I'll be here
all alone
on my computer
lonely and tired
on my instant messenger
waiting for you to log on.
