[Verse 1]
Why are you dismayed by those who cut you away or had a change of heart?
Oh you who have a heart of glass shattered by a word
Even in their long absence you still say, Surely they'll show up one day
For the dear remain just as dear even if they're neglectful at times
[Chorus]
How wretched
Are the expectant
They live on hope
Unfortunately and feel for those who couldn't care less
Years go by
As you wait
But nothing changes not a word has comе your way
Still your heart tells you they will comе back
[Verse 2]
All you dreamt of, my heart was someone who treats you right
How many times have you extended your hand only for them to push it away?
You gave them your best, your high hopes were costly
Now the closeness you always sought rather scares you away
[Chorus]
How wretched
Are the expectant
They live on hope
Unfortunately and feel for those who couldn't care less
Years go by
As you wait
But nothing changes not a word has come your way
Still your heart tells you they will come back
