every single night
day by day
you hold onto me
want me to stay

i stay and agree that
it was a mistake
i say i'll never again
but i have an ache

deep inside my body
it's a thing that you know
something you'll never find
it keeps you on your toes

but there's something
that i've never said
no words i come out with
can truly comprehend

that i'm short of temper
short of patience
short are all the memories
short of all the time we're wasting

short is everything we did
happy times with you and me
they're not many of which i can count
far and wide and few in-between
