I sit by the phone,
Waiting for a call
That I know will never come,

This love is crazier than it seems,
And it just hurts knowing
You and I will never be,
I know what I’m in for,
But I’m still playing the waiting game,

Sitting by the phone,
That I know never rings,
And….
I know exactly what it means….

Waiting for someone you love to call you back, knowing they never will because you made them made, you're not together, they love another, and ect.
