Just Waiting, Hoping

by Karin Erlacher   Aug 14, 2007


I won't forget what you said

the night before you left me

I asked if our love would be dead

You said it would last an eternity

I told you that I was sad and scared

I didn't know if you'd still love me

You told me that no matter where

you were, you'd come home and hold me

It's been one whole week since then

Now, you won't even say I love you

I can't remember a time when

I have ever felt so down and blue

How could your feelings change so fast?

How can you still tell me that you care?

You once told me your love would last

Now that it hasn't, it's not fair

I'm the only one who has something to lose

The love of my life and a really cool guy

I'm scared to wait for you to choose

I don't want your promise to be a lie

I'll end up sitting here to just wait

for the day that you will come home

Why can't I have any better fate

then to sit all day next to the phone?

That's all I seem to do, wait for your call

It never comes and the days still go by

I never wanted this to happen

And I never do anything but cry

I do't want to be wasting my time

I want to hold you and to kiss you

I want you to say that you're all mine

I want to look in your eyes and say I missed you

I will have butterflies that day

And you'll hug me and never let go

All my pain and fears will melt away

And that will be the day that I know

Your words are sincere and true

You never meant to hurt me

No more dayd of being sad and blue

Just days with you, being happy
