ON THE LINE

I put my feelings on the line,
hoping things turn out fine,
why does love hurt like this,
why does my love always miss.

Why did I say I love you?
Why did I say I even cared?
If I knew you didn't feel the same way,
Why is it my feelings that are shared?

You say, "We're just friends."
I answer with "That's cool,"
But when we hang up the phone,
I'm left alone, feeling like a fool?

I look into the future,
instead of looking to the past,
Although it hurts a lot,
It helps the pain go by fast.

Why did I even look your way?
Why did I ask you to be mine?
Especially when it's only my,
My feelings on the line...

Why am I doomed to wander?
Me, myself all alone,
My friends and all their dates,
Me home, alone, by the phone.

Why am I so pathetic?
as to actually care,
and to get hurt,
when things aren't truly fair?

Why is it like this?
Without a valentine,
to hurt so very very much,
Cuz you put your feelings on the line.

I feel like the pain is swelling,
from my heart into my bones,
and I feel empty inside,
like a group of empty mindless drones.

You said you truly cared,
I really believed you did,
How wrong I was when,
If my love was a box, you slammed the lid.

I sit here in my room,
Thinking why did things go wrong?
Why do tears well up,
whenever I hear our song?

Why did you have to say?
that things would turn out fine,
But still left me hurting,
Because I put my feelings on the line.
