Story Behind The Song
I was madly in love with a guy and he lived quite far... he was still involved with a girl, but promised me the sun and the moon... always saying he'll call... always making excuses. Eventually I called it a day!

Lyrics
Waiting
You'd make it so much easier, if you called sometime
It's not like you're a star: supposedly working on your dreams.
Remember the day you asked: "babe, do you think this will last?"
The same time you said: "it's up to us..."
And I waited on love
All the promises from you
But I'm still waiting for us
Now I'm singing 'bout you
Actually don't bother calling now
All hope is gone and I think I'm beyond it
Loving you would make me lose my head
Now what did I expect?
You'd make it so much easier if you just died
If you're with someone else, it'll drive me insane
'Cause I'm still waiting for love
Broken promises from you
'Cause there's really no us
You played me like a fool.
You always say: "I'll call you some time"
Please don't feel obliged.
But I wait for you, by the hour:
My head stuck to the phone, my heart all alone
Actually don't bother calling now
All hope is gone and I think I'm beyond it
Loving you would make me lose my head
Now what did I expect?
Actually just die instead!
