Lyrics
[verse]
You call me up and say you'll be around,
Then leave me waiting, nowhere to be found.
I sit here counting hours by the door,
Wondering if my heart can take much more.
[chorus]
Why do you lift me high, sweetheart, then walk out the door,
Leave me standing lonely, wanting something more.
Every time you tell me that you're here to stay,
Baby I believe you, then you slip away.
[verse]
I know I should be smarter, walk away for good,
But your smile still gets me every time it should.
So I wait by the window like a fool in love,
Hoping this time you'll be all I'm dreaming of.
[chorus]
Why do you lift me high, sweetheart, then walk out the door,
Leave me standing lonely, wanting something more.
Every time you tell me that you're here to stay,
Baby I believe you, then you slip away.
[bridge]
Maybe one day you'll show up right on time,
Maybe one day this crazy love will rhyme.
Till then I'm standing here with hope I can't erase,
Chasing after shadows of your face.
[chorus]
Why do you lift me high, sweetheart, then walk out the door,
Leave me standing lonely, wanting something more.
Every time you tell me that you're here to stay,
Baby I believe you, then you slip away.
