"Insomnia" lyrics

"Insomnia"

It is 4 AM
And I'm waiting in our bed alone
Dreaming of your embrace
Wishing you would come back home
But you don't call
And you don't come
And you don't say
That you miss me
And you don't stop on your way back
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy

It is 5 AM
And I'm waiting by the phone again
This is not how it's supposed to be
You're supposed to be here with me
But you're gone now
You're just gone now
You don't even think about the way I feel
'Cause you're gone now
You're just gone now
When I know you should be right here

It's 6 o'clock in the morning
And I'm so tired of yawning
I'm miserable and feeling blue
'Cause all I really want is you
But you don't call
And you don't come
And you don't say
That you miss me, oh...
And you don't stop on your way back
To say hi
I'm feeling crazy

It's 7 o'clock in the AM
In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing
At work, no one will feel my pain
It's a crime the way things changed

Time to wake up
Put on my strong face
And hope that no one will know
You have managed to turn me
From a woman of substance
Into a brick flying, calling too damn much
Crying, crying, spying
Way down down low with flats on
From the opposite side of the boff
Easy off
Loaded on top of your car chick
I never intended to be this chick
Groping at smoke for her mind
Or the readily dissolving remnants of it
After being chased, I've been dismissed
As just an object, something to play with
You have managed to turn me
From a woman of substance to this
