Verse 1
Tonight, Well pardon me for my lack of availability
It’s just that this strange heart of mine can’t recall what made it cry
And I exchange my reasons will subtle hints of silent pleas in conversation
It’s not that you’re uninteresting; it’s not that you don’t realize
It’s just that I…
Chorus
I don’t wanna think; tonight I’ll hide away
And pretend that it’s okay
To hold my head up high and toast to the beauty and the pain
That never goes away
Verse 2
Except tonight we all deal in different; one will laugh the other cries we all as why
And you’d think I’d have the words but they just don’t come out right
So we all, all play the same game; we raise a glass to living life and numb the aching
It’s not that we don’t long for more; It’s just easier to stay this way
But I don’t wanna stay
Bridge
It’s not that I don’t know the truth
It’s just that I want more of you; would you rescue me
