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
