Midnight on the phone

Once again he left me, took my string of hope
for no apparent reason he decided to end the call
and still I hang on it to hear the words I longed

Once again he couldn't help but say goodbye
an, oh so comforting, we'll talk another time
and couldn't read between the lines when I  said goodnight

and with the speaker in my hand and a tear in my soul
I stayed motionless hearing the hang up tone
and whispered in his ear "I feel alone"

my misery he couldn't feel or why did he abandon me?
a word of comfort, a gentle laugh, assuring me the storm will pass
was it too much all this I asked?

Once again I'm sleeping with goodbyes
and tears don't ever wet my eyes
for I can't blame him if he's blind

Once again I'm hoping to forget
I'm hoping sadness won't turn into bitterness
that all those moments I won't regret

Once again I'm sleeping with his gentle arms
around my shoulders 'cause I know where his heart's at
but t-shirts can't always kiss goodnight, hon
