Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how I started the show, one of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is lonely, one of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
[Post-Chorus]
Never left at all
[Outro]
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
(One of us is shaking with a heart that’s breaking)
One of us is lonely, one of us is only
Waiting for a call...
