Short a Try > 01.26.2007

I’m picking up these broken pieces again
I’ve found myself picking up everything I’ve broke again
But you’ve heard it all before
You’re never gonna hear me again, not again

Tomorrow is too soon for you my dear
I’ve pushed you so far away, and all I do is want you here
But you’ve heard it all before
You’re not gonna hear it again, not again

And I can’t sleep because pretenders never sleep with a smile
It’s hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I say I’m feeling fine
I’m locked up loaded down, short a try

Have I told you today how much I love you?
And I absolutely never ever, will hold anything above you
But you’ve heard me say it before
And you don’t wanna hear it again
You’ve heard me scream before
Do you wanna hear me whisper again?

Did I tell you that I love the way you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you live
The way that you give me everything you’re supposed to
And I sat there and took it away
And I never really let you know
And I never really let you get away
And I never really let you love
I’m always just sitting here wondering why

Pretenders never sleep with a smile
I guess it’s hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I told you I’m doing fine
You’ve got me locked up loaded down, short a try

See now once in a lifetime comes around just once
And you’re lucky if you get it
You’re lucky that you could
You’re lucky that you should

I should’ve told you, but now
You’ve got me locked up loaded down
Just give me one more try
