Lyric 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
