I´ve spent too much time
Waiting for you in vain
I can´t hear your voice
Although I call your name
I can´t go on but I still hang on just the same

I´ve spent endless nights
Crying you name out loud
But still remain
Alone in an empty crowd
As time goes on I realize you´ll never change

I say a prayer
I count the hours
I hear a voice but it´s not yours
I count the score
I can´t go on playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I´ll be there just call my name
Until then I´ll be playing the waiting game

I´ve waited too long

Wishing my life away
Convincing myself
Tomorrow you´d change your ways
I can´t go on but I still hang on just the same

I say a prayer
I count the hours
I hear a voice but it´s not yours
I count the score
I can´t go on playing the waiting game

All you left me with emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You´ve gone but I´m still playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I´ll be there just call my name

Until then I´ll be playing the waiting game

I´ve waited too long for you to change your ways
Playing the waiting game

All you left me with emptiness
Now everyday seems the same
You´ve gone but I´m still playing the waiting game

If you should ever change your mind
I´ll be there just call my name
Until then I´ll be playing the waiting game
