i'm sitting in my corner, waiting for the phone to ring
waiting turns to hours and hours turn into tears
i'm missing you already and already it's a simple fear
i'm blinded by the fire and the fear of getting hurt sets in

people all around us
they don't think that we can last
desperately i'm holding on, and funny how we only began
fearing my emotions are strong and may scare her away

kissing whiskey by the phone
shattered hopes is all she knows

jealous hearts, they mend, but scars...they only leave for show
in desperate times you walk away, but heavy burdens, burn your soul
yet, i'm hopelessly romanticizing, thinking, that we might last
foolish games they turn away and all we do is bicker the past

she waits no longer for me
hatred blinds her every fear
why won't she just put some trust in me
i've done no wrong for her to see

i'm sitting in my corner, waiting for the phone to ring
waiting turns to hours and hours turn into tears
i'm missing you already and already it's a simple fear
i'm blinded by the fire and the fear of getting hurt sets in

i'm drinking away my simple fear
the whiskey's gone and i'm still here
kissing whiskey by the phone
shattered hopes is all she knows
