I can't stand to wake up
And start the day
But I can't stand to waste away
I'd sleep all the days away if I'd only dream of you
But I'd lie by the time it came true

No answer, no answer
I call out forever
No answer, no answer
I called

The look in your eyes
Words from you lips
I can't tell which hurts the most
To get inside your soul was my one and only goal
But I died every time I came close

No answer, no answer
I called out forever
No answer, no answer
I called

Did you hear?
Were you there?
Did you care?
Did it matter I was there?

And what do you think I am
A disconnected man?
At least the habit's hard to break
Still, you could have tried for your own sake

I called...
