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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
