I remember giving up the gory details And it left me tongue-tied such an elementary sickness
Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel I wasn't aware this was part of the deal When I put my finger on a greater expectation But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman
And all of my language will fail to convey That I'm terribly twisted around what I say And the message that I threw away I don't have it now, I don't have it now I don't have it now, I don't have it now
So I get worried and it only grows to hurt me But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm diggin' a hole and I'm makin' it deep And I'm startin' to question the hours I keep And the answer that I put to sleep I don't have it now, I don't have it now I don't have it now, I don't have it now
And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading For all to likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay And I'm terribly twisted around what I say And the courage that I threw away I don't have it now, I don't have it now I don't have it now, I don't have it now
I don't have it now, I don't have it now I don't have it now, I don't have it now
