late night all alone
and tonight I suppose
it's threatening
where are you
when I need you
I need you here
I practice lines before I dial
hold my breath and fake a smile
say "I know it's been a while since
my last call,
but you're just a rotten spoiled child
who thinks the world won't pass her by
as long as there's another guy
to lean your heart on."
It takes all the faith I have in you
to let this go and count on you but I
won't give up, oh no, won't give up.
It's alright the night
is just a little cold
it feels like ice
that's growing on your heart of stone
but if I don't have your call
I don't have you at all
and the calls won't stop
they're all I have
a little piece of history
what's left of what was you and me.
and I won't forget
I hate that it has come to this
a handshake to replace a kiss
a gesture that i'll learn to miss
when they're all gone.
but you're just a rotten spoiled child
who thinks the world won't pass her by
as long as there's another guy
to lean your heart on.
