You tell me that the bills are paid
And that I'm payin' for it
You keep sayin' that you run away
And knew you're waiting for it
You keep tellin' people everday
Someday they're gonna know your name
I keep thinkin' that I'm gonna stay
But I keep thinking of it

Through all times
I keep lettin' you down
I don't know why I keep hangin' around
And though I try and keep tellin' you
Life's got away of workin' out

Tellin' all your friends that you've been played
But you've been playin' for it
Sayin' to me that my bed's been made
And don't mind lying on it
You keep tellin' people everday
Someday they're gonna know your name
You keep throwing me a hand grenade
And I keep droppin' on it

Through all times
I keep lettin' you down
I don't know why I keep hangin' around
And though I try and keep telling you
Life's got away of workin' out
I couldn't hide
Your wounds were tearin' me down
And all this time my heart's been tearin' me out
And though I try and keep telling you
Life's got away of working out

I never want to lie to you
'Cause I'll always try to hide the truth
Sick and tired of fighting battles everday
Sick and tired of tryin' to walk away
I'm just trying to find a reason to
Everytime I'm lyin' next to you
A reason not to run away
A reason that'll make you stay

Through all times
I keep lettin' you down
I don't know why I keep hangin' around
And though I try and keep telling you
Life's got away of workin' out
I couldn't hide
Your wounds were tearin' me down
And all this time my heart's been tearin' me out
And though I try and keep telling you
Life's got away of working out

Life's got away of workin' out
