I remember giving up the gory details
And it left me tongue-tied (such an elementary sickness)
Now i don't want to think and i don't want to feel
I wasn't aware that this was part of the deal
When i put my finger on a greater expectation
But just my luck, i lack the patience of a statesman
And all of my language will fail to convey
That i'm terribly twisted around what i say
And the message i threw away

I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now

So i keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and i'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and i'm making it deep
And i'm starting to question the hours that i keep
And the answer that i put to sleep

I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now

And so i'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all to likely runs the risk of me repeating
But i don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And i'm terribly twisted around what i say
And the courage that i threw away

I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
I don't have it now
