Short A Try lyrics

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
