At Night Alone
So here I sit, at night, alone
Bored and just too many cigarettes to burn
So I smoke and I wait, seemingly for a call
And really just ache, cause it's not coming at all
You're too many miles away from home
I feel the distance at night, alone
I hate you for the restless nights
And I hate me because I know it's not right
To sit in front of the computer screen
Searching for the words I just want to scream
Not even knowing the pain that I feel
How to describe what feels so unreal
I miss, just miss, everything that is you
Laughing for hours at things that you do
And how could it be that this is the end
What was to be a lifetime of new things to begin
But here I sit, at night alone
And the numbness inside is all that I know
