Never found out why you left him
But this answer begs that question
Too blind to see tomorrow
Too broke to beg or borrow
Young and stupid
Left wide open
Hearts are wasted
Lives are broken

One more point of contention
I need some intervention
Approached with vague intentions
Betray my short attention
Span the distance
Bridge the border
Beg forgiveness
Round the corner

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door

More time apart will give you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through?
It always seemed too far to
Drive the point home
Send more letters
Pray tomorrow
Ends up better

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out please shut the door

I never did do anything that she asked
I never let what happened stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant
In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But every time I look for you the sun goes down
