lyrics

You've already left me once
Then you came back home
Now you've gone and left me twice
Leaving me all alone
You broke my heart
I sent you flowers
I guess you're going to come back any day

You've got me holding out on hope
Playing make-believe
I've been fooling myself
Since the day that you walked out
Leaving me holding out
Holding out on hope

Well I waited five long weeks
That soon became five years
And when I take that call from you
I'll be holding back the tears
My heart is still broken
I'm still sending you flowers
I'm half expecting to see you any day

My powers of persuasion
Worked the first time round
I'd ask you to look into my eyes
But you're nowhere to be found
You're heart must be made of stone
Returning wilted flowers
But I remain optimistic to this day
