don't wait for me lyrics

Now I look out my window
To the street so far below
And I pray I'll see you approaching
Don't know why you had to go

It's been so long but I feel no better
I've got to say I'm still so alone
Will I ever get used to this feeling
And the nights so long and cold

When all I wanna do is hold you
But all I seem to do is cry
And all you had to say the day you walked away
Is, "Don't wait for me, goodbye"

All my friends they smile when they see me
I guess they know what I'm going through
They don't mention your name to protect me
And what am I supposed to do?

When all I wanna do is hold you
But all I seem to do is cry
And the last thing that you said
And it's ringing 'round my head
Is, "Don't wait for me, goodbye"

How can I replace you?
How am I gonna get through every night?
All the time I wasted, all the pain I tasted for you
I'm losing my mind

Ooh, why do you have to go away
Leave me like this, darlin'
Can't stand it for another day

All I wanna do is hold you
But all I seem to do is cry
And the last thing that you said
And it's ringing 'round my head
Is, "Don't wait for me, goodbye"

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me, goodbye

I can't stand it no more
Can't stand livin', livin' without you
