No One Waiting For Me

No one waiting... No one waiting for me... Another face is gone before I say hello, Another "no" from someone I don't know. Somebody's laughing with their friends tonight, I eat alone beneath the kitchen light. I keep reaching out, I keep hearing no, And I'm running out of places left to go. No one waiting for me when I turn out the light, Someone's phone lights up: "Did you get home all right?" No one waiting for me, and I can't pretend That a hundred hellos add up to a friend. (No one, no one...) (No one waiting for me...) (No one, no one...) (No one waiting for me...) I don't need a hundred people I can call, Just one who stays and listens through it all. I've tried for years, and I still want to try, But lately I think twice before I say hi. I say I'm done, then try once more, And hear the silence like before. No one waiting for me when I turn out the light, Someone's phone lights up: "Did you get home all right?" No one waiting for me, and I can't pretend That a hundred hellos add up to a friend. (No one, no one...) (No one waiting for me...) (No one, no one...) (No one waiting for me...) I don't want their lives, I want someone in mine, Someone who listens when I say I'm not fine. No one owes me a yes, I know, But it hurts to hear a lifetime of no. No one waiting for me when I turn out the light, Someone's phone lights up: "Did you get home all right?" No one waiting for me, and I can't pretend That a hundred hellos add up to a friend. No one waiting for me... I don't want their lives. I want someone in mine.
