[Verse 1]

I'll sit waiting for your call

'Cause you left me all alone

Just watching TV

It can't be much longer now

'Cause you told me nothing

Would've happened to me

[Chorus]

But it happened and you weren't home

So I called you on the phone

And when you didn't pick up

I called 'til I went broke

'Cause if I'm old enough to talk

About the things I think are wrong

I guess I should know when to stop

But I don't and it's all your

[Verse 2]

And I thought I was losing

'Cause no one ever told me any different

"Just go home and don't be stupid"

You'd never say that to a kid so what's the difference?

'Cause I'm "too old" but l'm too young for you to listen

I told you once and you didn't quite listen

But I'm not gonna tell you again

Because I'm trying not to be someone's bother

But it's hard not to be like them

It's not life or death but it sure feels like it

But I just can't tell

I told you once and you didn't quite listen

But l'm not gonna tell you again

Because I'm trying not to be someone's bother

But it's hard not to be like them

I think I miss who I thought you were

Before you knew how I could get hurt

Why are you still waiting for a call

To call you home to watch me burn?

[Chorus]

But it happened and you weren't home

So I called you on the phone

And when you didn't pick up

I called and called and called 'til I went broke

But it happened and you weren't home

So I called you on the phone

And when you didn't pick up

I called and called and called 'til I went broke

'Cause if I'm old enough to talk

About the things I think are wrong

I guess I should know when to stop

But I don't and it's all your fault

[Outro]

I told you once and you didn't quite listen

But I'm not gonna tell you again

Because I'm trying not to be someone's bother

But it's hard not to be like them
