i'm picking up these broken pieces again i'm feeling like i'm lost and all i do is find you there we've been here before i'm never coming back again, not again tomorrow is too soon for you my dear i pushed you oh so far away when all i do is want you near well i've been here before not coming back again and i can't sleep because pretenders never sleep with a smile it's hard enough to wake up after awhile and even though i say i'm feeling fine i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try have i told you lately that i love you have i told you that i hold nothing there above you we've been around here before we're never coming back again, not again i love the way you walk the way that you talk the way you live the way that you give me everything you promised you would if i could, i'd be here i can't well i can't sleep because pretenders never sleep with a smile it's hard enough to wake up after awhile and even though i say i'm feeling fine i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try i wish to god that i been there for you my dear there's so much pushing me all around, i'd love to hold you near and i don't expect you to stay and i'm never gonna ask you why because i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try i'm locked up, loaded down and i'm short a try Different version of song performed by OAR at Northberg I'm locked up and I'm down Locked away It's been a thousand times since I seen you come my way I've been here before but I wont' be back again, back again. The table shattered glass around my face I miss all those old times What a wonderful old place I've been here before but I won't be back again, back again And pretenders never sleep with a smile It's hard enough to wake up after a while. And even though I say I'm feeling fine. I'm locked up loaded down and short a try. We find ourselves at the same crossroads I've been in this place before And I don't' want anyone to know That I'm on my way home but I won't be back again, back again The next time that I see you will be my little end. I'm layin on the ground and I've lost my breath again This time I wont' be back I won't be back again, back again. Cause pretenders never sleep with a smile. It's hard enough to wake up after a while And even though I say I'm feeling fine I'm locked up loaded down and short a try. And pretenders never sleep with a smile It's hard enough to wake up after a while And even though I say I'm feeling fine I'm locked up loaded down and short a try. I'm locked up loaded down and short a try I'm locked up loaded down and short a try I'm locked up loaded down and short a try I'm locked up loaded down and short a try.
