Everyone around me is joining in a celebration,
Dancing lovers laugh at a joke I can't know,
My invitations lost, no one offers an explanation,
Every time I'm ready; the curtains close on the show.
And it hurts, to be the one no one wants,
It hurts, to be the one all alone,
And it hurts, to be the one left out,
Out in the cold,
No one to hold,
But myself.
Wondering when it's going to be my turn,
My turn to love; my turn to feel like I belong,
Sitting all alone now, my heart begins to burn,
I've been angry and sad for much too long.
And it hurts, to be the one no one wants,
It hurts, to be the one all alone,
And it hurts, to see everyone smile,
While you walk that mile,
All alone,
By yourself.
Hoping that this dry spell will end with a storm,
That my waiting will pay, and I'll get something good,
Waiting for the day I'll be given something warm,
I'm praying so much harder than I thought I could.
And it hurts, to be the one left waiting,
Anticipating what we may not receive,
And it hurts, to be alone for this long,
I've been much too strong,
So when you finally come,
You'd better be the only one,
For me.
I'm waiting for you, and I've been waiting so long,
So make it worthwhile, give me a smile,
Help me right all I've wronged.
No holding back,
And no restraints,
When you hit me,
Make me fall out of place.
Knock me out of place.
So promise me my dear,
That when you finally make it here...
You'll be the one, the one I've waited for,
That you'll be the sand upon my shore,
Forever more.
And promise, that you aren't another lie,
Not just some guy, passing on by.
Please let me hear you say,
That you will be the one to stay,
When you come.
