Come Back

What makes you worth it?
What makes you so special?
Is it the way you move?
The way you always know?
Or maybe it's from how
You light up my life,
Just walking into the room.

They laugh at me you know.
Behind my back and sometimes,
Sometimes in my face as well.
You have no idea how much
It kills to have you do this;
To take away the only thing
That I thought ever mattered.

I don't know why I wait.
I should have moved on ages
Before the melancholy came.
And still I live alone and,
Stupidly, watch the door.
I cry whenever the phone
Rings and you're not there.

I still hope that you live.
That you haven't forgotten me.
A pointless thing for others,
But it still means everything.
I know that you would laugh,
And probably be like them;
Even leave me behind again.

You won't be able to hear.
God knows where you are now.
But I want you to know,
Inside that heart of yours;
That I will wait for you,
Even if it takes a lifetime,
I'll stand here till you come.
