Start Over

Sitting here all alone, The silence crawling in. Just waiting for the telephone To ring it's dreadful ring. To hear your voice on the other line, To hear you say you've made a mistake. "I'm coming home, everything's fine, I didn't mean to cause your heart to break". You promised me you would call When you got things all sorted out. Do you miss me at all, Or are you glad you got out? Are you coming home to be with me, Or is this the end? Do you just want to be free And not have to pretend? That everything's going to be okay And we just have to deal with the stress. I wish you hadn't walked away; Together, we could sort through this mess. You're not the only one Who's been through a lot. How can you just say we're done When I feel that we're not? Come home so we can figure this out, So we can stop the pain. I promise not to shout If we can start over again.
