I waited and waited
Even though I knew you weren't there
And I sat there beside the phone
Struggling to keep from falling into despair
You see, that's how deep my loyalty
Really, truly can go
I'd wait for you forever
But I guess it doesn't show
And the only thing that saved me
Made it bearable, alright
Is that I knew cause you promised
You would call me later that night
So I waited, and waited
And I guess that you forgot
Cause the hours ticked by in silence
And in my mind, pain and hope fought
In my mind I silently begged you
Hoping that maybe you'd hear
To come home and save me
Before I surrended to the fear
I sat there in silence
Eyes fixed on the phone
Pleading it to suddenly ring
And save me from feeling alone
But once again I was mistaken
The tears soon filled my eyes
All along I really knew
Saw through the truth's disguise
And I sat there for hours
Though it was oh so clear
That I had been forgotten
My deepest darkest fear
But at least I know that no one
Can say I didn't try
And at least my tears aren't for nothing
But for a friendship doomed to die
So I guess I'll still be waiting
When the thought crosses your mind
Whatever happened to her?
Remembered for one last time
And I'll fade into your memories
Locked and stored away
Never to be thought of again
I'll fade with every passing day.
