All I can do
is sit alone
in my room
thinkin about ya
how could this be
that you are not here with me
when I gave you the best of me
I face each day
without a smile
and life seemed so unfair
I feel like I wanna die
you didn't even give me a last
you didn't give me a last goodbye, baby
chorus:
I waited weeks for your call
I waited here by the phone
but when the silence grew long
I knew that something was wrong
right then I knew it babe
how could you do it babe
how could you tear my poor heart in two
how could you do it babe
how could you do it
how could you do it to me
and tear my poor heart in two
ain't no more blue up in my sky
only cloudy mornings
and these tears like rain
you left behind
all of those memories
in the corner of my mind
I started lookin at us
in a picture, in a frame
as I start to cry
cause I can't picture us apart
oh my God, can you help me
can you help me with this pain
pain that I'm feelin deep down inside
I waited weeks for your call
I waited here by the phone
but when the silece grew long
I knew that something was wrong
right then I knew it babe
how could you do it babe
how could you tear my poor heart in two
girl tell me it's not too late
will I have to spend the rest of my life
without you baby
how can I get through
how can I get through this pain
this pain of losing
(chorus)
