Short a Try (Live)

Locked out, once again
I feel like I can't understand a word you say
Been here before, but I won't be back again (back again)

Picks up that broken glass, Picks up that broken flower pot
I'm cleaning up after what I've said, once again

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

My darling, my wish if they come too far
It's been so long, and I'm feeling so alone
Please don't let them judge, how we get along
I don't want to lose you, because someone else has not grown

And I have questions too, and and I'd like them answered fast
Baby I'll become, a part of your beautiful past
Have I ever told you lately that I love you?
Have I ever told you I adore the way you talk
The way you walk
The way you live
The way you think
The way that you scold me

The way you don't drink
The way that you smile, I love that smile the most

My problem is, 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
I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

Dragged you on, long enough my dear
It's time that you moved on, away from here
I wish I could pick up these pieces again
I thank the lord that I could call you my friend
I thank the lord that you are my friend
But I'm short a try

Thanks
