Three sleepless nights
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at taking your time
To give back to me
I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that I could change you
But you changed me
But it doesn't feel right
Holding someone else's hand
Together on phone lines
And living at two opposite ends
It scares me to think that you could find takers
Other than me and better than me
But your head is elsewhere
And I'm talking enough for both of us
When will you see, it's not so easy for me
You careless and whispered, insulting and bruising
And I thought that you said
Things were improving, these laces are untied
But my feet are walking away
(I fall from your eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
I never thought you could say these words
Is this really happening
(Don't say that we can still be friends)
Erase my name from this page
How can you take all these days
(What is inside me, what have I done)
And throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me)
As I sit here waiting for you
(Dead words for closed ears, all this is sung for you)
I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
Until stars leave the sky
(Why can you look at me can you only see)
Knowing what my dreams can take away
(Sides, your side, can take away)
Walk away from me
This night is done
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at taking your time
To give back to me
I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that I could change you
But you changed me
But it doesn't feel right
Holding someone else's hand
Together on phone lines
And living at two opposite ends
It scares me to think that you could find takers
Other than me and better than me
But your head is elsewhere
And I'm talking enough for both of us
When will you see, it's not so easy for me
You careless and whispered, insulting and bruising
And I thought that you said
Things were improving, these laces are untied
But my feet are walking away
(I fall from your eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
I never thought you could say these words
Is this really happening
(Don't say that we can still be friends)
Erase my name from this page
How can you take all these days
(What is inside me, what have I done)
And throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me)
As I sit here waiting for you
(Dead words for closed ears, all this is sung for you)
I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
Until stars leave the sky
(Why can you look at me can you only see)
Knowing what my dreams can take away
(Sides, your side, can take away)
Walk away from me
This night is done

I never thought you could say these words
is this really happening
(don't say that we can still be friends)
isn't that how it is though? you can not believe you are getting broken up with and just don't hurt me and tell me we can be friends....
I think this song is talking about going through the stages of breakin up. The guy is just waiting till she comes to her senses and he just waits for her to realize and is losing sleep and such. she could find someone better then him and that scares him. they say everything is getting better but it doesn't it just gets worst. she is thinking of someone else or something else. she breaks up with him and he is just crushed and broken. and i could go on forever and ever about this song. here are some thoughts take it for what its worth.
this isn't how it's supposed to be
but you're so good at taking your time
to give back to me
i LOVE the 1st verse...
