(V 1)

I stand on the cold sidewalk and watch the rain

fall into the drain

I feel my thoughts race with speed

and wonder if this is just a need.

A need to listen, to whisper, to think

and wonder if I might just take that chance and blink.

(CHORUS)

Baby don't listen, don't whisper, don't speak,

'cause I'm standin' here wanting to run.

My ears are frozen red just like my cheeks,

and now I look how much love you gave, and guess what? It's none.

Once I made a far off promise, a promise that you broke.

And the rain falls down in cool, cold drips,

and my destiny makes me choke.

(V 2)

I ponder the promise and the pact you made for keeps.

It really was very cheap.

I wonder how things really work,

and my lips spread to make a smirk.

Things really ended up how you wanted,

and now my soul's left deserted with that pain that makes it haunted.

(CHORUS)

Baby don't listen, don't whisper, don't speak,

'cause I'm standin' here wanting to run.

My ears are frozen red just like my cheeks,

and now I look how much love you gave, and guess what? It's none.

Once I made a far off promise, a promise that you broke.

And the rain falls down in cool, cold drips,

and my destiny makes me choke.
