Short A Try

I'm picking up these broken pieces again

I'm feeling like i'm lost and all i do is find you

there

We've been here before

I'm never coming back again, not again

Tomorrow is too soon for you my dear

I pushed you oh so far away when all i do is want you

near

Well i've been here before

Not coming back again

And i can't sleep

Because pretenders never sleep with a smile

It's hard enough to wake up after awhile

And even though i say i'm feeling fine

I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

Have i told you lately that i love you

Have i told you that i hold nothing there above you

We've been around here before

We're never coming back again, not again

I love the way you walk

The way that you talk

The way you live

The way that you give me everything you promised you

would

If i could, i'd be here

I can't

Well i can't sleep

Because pretenders never sleep with a smile

It's hard enough to wake up after awhile

And even though i say i'm feeling fine

I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

I wish to god that i been there for you my dear

There's so much pushing me all around, i'd love to hold

you near

And i don't expect you to stay

And i'm never gonna ask you why

Because i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

I'm locked up, loaded down

And i'm short a try
