lyrics

Early in the mornin' wake up with a headache
And now it's pushin' past 12:30 I don't know where I've stayed
I hope I didn't get you angry when I came in so late
But I just couldn't bear to go home in my compromised state

Because I've been feeling kind of strange and lately I'm a new man
But at a loss for all my efforts 'cus I don't have a plan
And I'm just grabbing for a feeling so I'll know who I am

It's up to… You, 'cause I can't think for myself
And darling you can't be too good for my health
And that's the truth, I'm not too sure how I felt
But now I'm through… tryin'

I came to your apartment but your bedroom was closed
And with your girlfriend on the sofa I collapsed on the floor
But then my brain was off and racing on what's now through you're door
And when I think of how we're talking you don't want me no more

So I woke up feeling sick that's when I knew I should go
And when I tried to tell you thanks you didn't pick up your phone
But I was only there for reasons that you couldn't have known
It must have been around 4:30 and I couldn't, couldn't go home

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Cause you let me in too…

You, 'cause I can't think for myself
And darling you can't be too good for my health
And that's the truth, I'm not too sure how I felt
But now I'm through… tryin'

It's up to you, 'cause I can't think for myself
And darling you can't be too good for my health
And that's the truth, i'm not too sure how I felt
But now i'm through... tryin'
