Where you are, I can't see your face at all
There's no trace of your perfume in my room
As I lie here and think of you

All the stains, your Polish cannot change
Upon each broken part of my heart
Is the wear and tear of many years


But it seems much later than before
And I'm still waiting on a long distance call

That never comes
You meant it when you said it
Yes you meant it when you said it

You were leaving and never coming home

All this time I refuse to use my eyes

Prefer to see a fantasy of you and me
Just like we used to be


All around, now the props are falling down
They just weren't meant to last and this old mask
It don't suit me now so I'll take a bow


And it seems much later than before
And I'm still waiting on a long distance call

That never comes
You meant it when you said it
Yes you meant it when you said it

You were leaving and never coming home

But I couldn't see past you

I was waiting for your call
When the clock out in the hall
Struck one

And then two

And it seems much later than before

And I'm still waiting on a long distance call
That never comes
You meant it when you said it

Yes you meant it when you said it
You were leaving and never coming home
