I survive the cold on your promises
Frozen in a life so temporary
Trapped in the darkness of an endless night
Living for the day when you'll be mine
You promised, the door would open, open again
You promised, I would hold you once again
And every time the phone rings, I run just to check
But it's never been you and I'm starting to suspect
That I wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
It's just one small step and I'm out of the shadow
But I can't escape your indifference
I'm gripped by indecision and paralyzed by pride
Hesitating till the day you'll be by my side
You promised, I would feel your soft kiss again
You promised, I would hear you whisper again
And every day I'm standing, just standing at your door
I can't even find the strength to hate you anymore
Wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
Don't make me wait in vain, no no
You promised, the door would open again
You promised, I would hold you, hold you again
And in the crowd, I always think I see you up ahead
When I call out your name, it's someone else instead
Wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
Please don't make me wait in vain
Oh, I wait in vain
Wait in vain
