Don't eat your heart out
Somebody's waiting
And they don't care
Where you've been, or who you've seen
Or what they think
Don't eat your heart out
And whither waiting
For what's not there
In your hand, or in the air
Or overseas

{And you'll always sink
Deep, beyond my reach
And deafen to the voice that speaks
Don't eat your heart out}

Nobody's waiting
And no one cares
Where you've been
Or who you've seen
Or what you think

{chorus}
