you drain my confidence
just so you can fill it back up
and i sat here on the fence
just til you came and pushed me off
i'm so lonely, but aren't we all?
you're the only girl i want to call
and i'll wake you up in the middle of the night
just to tell you everything's gonna be alright
and you'll just mumble in the phone, in the phone
cos you're alone in your bed and the things that i said
are probably just an echo in your head
but i'll still whisper in your ear, in your ear

you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand
you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand

and i'll wake you up in the middle of the day
just to tell you everything's gonna be okay
but it's not, it's not okay
and you can lay me down in the middle of the floor
just to tell me you're not gonna tell me anything anymore
and i'll just stay here on the floor

and they'll try to keep me here
until you move on to something new
so i'll skip the next few years
until i catch up with you
but those years add up; they don't just disappear
why don't you wake me up when the coast is clear?
when the end is near??

you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand
you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand
you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand
you're all i can stand, you're all i can stand
