When you've smoked your last cigarette
And the lights go out
And you're pacing around in your room

Thinking of things you shouldn't think about
And there's no one to hold your hand
Help you figure it out

And you think nobody understands
No one has been where you are now


I'll be waiting when you are on your own
Yes, I'll be waiting when you are far from home
When nothing's sacred you'll never be alone

No, I'll be waiting here

When you're down to your last bit of hope

Feel like breaking apart
And you swear that nobody else
Could ever love you the way that you are


I'll be waiting when you are on your own
Yes, I'll be waiting when you are far from home

When nothing's sacred
You'll never be alone
No, I'll be waiting here


When the day is short
And the night is long

And your pillow feels like the hardest stone
When your head is hot
And your heart is cold

You are not alone
You are not alone, no


I'll be waiting when you are on your own
Yes, I'll be waiting when you are far from home
When nothing's sacred you'll never be alone

No, I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here...
