Sitting by the fireside
All the hurt locked deep inside
Trying to mend my broken pride
It’s all of your doing
Waiting for the phone to ring
Waiting for my heart to sing
The thought of you is just a thing
That keeps me going
I don’t care how much you used me
All I want is you next to me
Twenty-four hours a day
Treating me so cruelly
I just can’t help the hurt inside
I want to take my heart and hide
Trying to disguise the pain
Will we ever meet again?
How can I keep myself safe
Until it’s over?
Will I ever find true love
Looking at the stars above
Or will I just drift
And wander to another?
I don’t care how much you used me
All I want is you next to me
Twenty-four hours a day
Treating me so cruelly
I just can’t help the hurt inside
I want to take my heart and hide
