Description Footsteps sound around the house
Could it be that you’re finally here?
That at last you’ve come to me?
That I’ll shed no more longing tears?

And I run out my door
Into the starless evening
The moon shines on only me
Lonely, silently grieving

You’re holding my world for ransom
My glass heart slowly shatters
And embeds itself in my living flesh
And rips me into tatters

Perhaps it’s you that’s calling
Every night on the phone
But when I answer desperately
All I hear is a dial tone

The phone hangs limp
It’s dull hum sounding for eternity
And I sit and listen to it’s drone
With the cords wrapped around me

You’re holding my world for ransom
My glass heart slowly shatters
And embeds itself in my living flesh
And rips me into tatters
