I was up all night hoping for you
Wasted sleeping hours and calls that didn't get through
Trying to remember if I let you down
And searching for the words to bring you back around

The easy sounds of a new day come rushing to my ears
But I'm still stuck on yesterday and why you were not here
To comfort me and lay me down, to close my aching eyes
Telling me not to be so hard on myself, I'm doing fine

What does he have for you that I don't
What does he give to you that I won't
What are the answers to the questions I ask myself

You know about my patience and I get down real fast
Sometimes over nothing, but mostly with my past
And if you had to do the things I do just to get paid
Then maybe you'd understand why I act this way
Then maybe you'd understand why I act this way
