Wait another day, I'll see you tomorrow,
Try and find a way to pass the time.
Looking at the world outside my window,
A gentle flow of song and rhyme.
I don't mind the stormy weather,
The traffic pouring through the street.
A time to reassess what's broken,
A time to get up off my feet.
Sitting by the phone when we agreed on,
Your calls are over much too soon.
Now, I'm a trusting man, but girl, you lead on;
I wonder where you've been this afternoon.
I'm afraid to voice my feelings,
'Cause if I'm wrong, then we are through.
So I will wait for you to call me,
I will wait to hear from you.
Cologne on your new shirt,
Some wine spilt on your skirt.
I know it's just guessing, but
Can't you see I'm hurt?
You're working late at night,
Come home at morning light.
My heart's slowly breaking
When you're out of sight.
[Instrumental]
I see you standing there before me,
You see the damage that you've done.
You never thought this day would meet you,
It's over now, you've had your fun.
Cologne on your new shirt,
Some wine spilt on your skirt.
I know it's just guessing, but
Can't you see I'm hurt?
You're working late at night,
Come home at morning light.
My heart's slowly breaking
When you're out of sight.
My heart's slowly breaking
When you're out of sight.
