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
