Lyrics for Waiting Like Mad
You pull a face as the train pulls away My heart's running on but my feet seem to stay The night's closing in, but I don't want to sleep My heart's running on, but my love's running deep And there's nothing to see and I'm turning away But the train's still in view so I'm turning to stay Forcing a smile in that lonely place And cursing because I left my cigarettes in your case Blood's running thick and my blood's running free But no one gives a damn because there's no wound to see I'm hurting inside and I'm hurting the world My temper's quick, I feel so sick Because I've lost the pearl my fingers curled around It's stupid because I know my anger's wrong It's stupid because I know you won't be long But still I miss you more than everything else I suppose more than anything I'm angry with myself Blood's running thick and my blood's running free But no one gives a damn because there's no wound to see I'm hurting inside and I'm hurting the world My temper's quick, I feel so sick Because I've lost the pearl my fingers curled around It's stupid because I know my anger's wrong It's stupid because I know you won't be long But still I miss you more than everything else I suppose more than anything I'm angry with myself
