I hold onto your every word, waiting for the ones I want to hear.
Is it loneliness that makes you call?
Or could it possible be, your love for me?
Is it me that you miss?
Oh how I long for your kiss
... I know it’s not me
No matter how bad I want it to be...
I wish you dreamt of me,
The way I dream of you
Yet I know that you don’t
And coming home to me, you won’t
If you ever loved me, let it show or let me go
I hold onto your ever word
Waiting for the ones I want to hear
Whisper sweet words in my ear
Oh how I fear you will never be mine
And my heart will always be yours
But our stars will never align
Is it my attention you need?
If so, then why me?
Am I shiny enough to catch your eye, and then it’s goodbye?
Am I enough to touch, but not to keep?
Is it loneliness that makes you call?
