Sit this one out

The night's getting old

Than your eyes aren't aware

You can't see clearly

And your nerves are thinning

I hadn't fit meal

And I'll kill on the table

We don't seen able

To hold and hang

Chorus:

Love sometimes

Takes the form of frustration

It's a sad combination

Of emptiness and down

But a only human connection

Is expressed for the shown

Will I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out?

There was a time

That we could sit and talk about things together

No, we didn't shut about things, at all

But let the love we play

To say what we have to say

But there are nothing to do now

And I don't have a clue (…) at all

Chorus:

Love sometimes

Takes the form of frustration

It's a sad combination

Of emptiness and down

But a only human connection

Is expressed for the shown

Will I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out?

Well, I know you understand what we've talked about

Chorus:

Love sometimes

Takes on a form of frustration

A sad combination

Of emptiness and down

But a only human connection

Is expressed for the shown, hey!

Cut down and run

I think I'm gonna have to sit down and sit this one out?

Let me say it again:

I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out

Can I borrow it all at all?

I don't even have a clue

Sometimes what I feel like I'm going to fall

Sometime I just hold on, don't let go

Don't give up of everything that you work for, so hold on

Don't destroy your self in a second

With anger

Hold on. A chain will go

I just wanna say:

I think I'm gonna have to sit and work this one out
