Short a Try > 08.18.2001

I'm picking up these broken pieces of glass
I found our flower pot in the corner of the room again
We've been here before
But I wont be back again, not again
Have I told you I love you today
Have I told you that I adore in every single way
But we’ve been here before
And I’m never coming back again, not again

I’m having trouble sleeping

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

It’s been way too long
Since we’ve been able to spend
Those countless minutes together
That we’re spending apart my friend
And I’ve been here before
Please god come back again
Once again

Because I can not sleep at night
Because I can’t forget your smile
And I can’t forget your talk
And I wanna remember the way that you ran away when you walked
On out my little door
I wish you would come on back, once again

I can’t sleep anymore

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
Oh baby I'm locked up, short a try
I miss your loving smile all the time
Ahh, would you come on back just one more day
And I could give you everything I told you I would
And I will give you everything I promised I could
But I don’t expect too much from you this time

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

I wish I could turn back the time, but I can’t
And then I’m short a try
