I never found out why you left him 
But this answer begs that question 
too blind to see tomorrow 
Too broke to beg or borrow 
Young and stupid 
Left wide open 
Hearts are wasted 
Lives are broken 

One more point of contention 
I need some intervention 
Approached with vague intentions 
Betray my short attention 
Span the distance 
Bridge the border 
Beg forgiveness 
Round the corner 

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down 
And I stumble with this whole thing runs aground 
I left another message, you are never around 
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down down once more 
Will the last one out please shut the door 

More time apart will give you 
A few more months to argue 
Is this too much to live through? 
It always seemed too far to 
Drive the point home 
Send more letters 
Pray tomorrow 
Ends up better 

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down 
And I stumble with this whole thing runs aground 
I left another message, you are never around 
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more 
Will the last one out please shut the door 
I never did do anything that she asked 
I never let what happened stay in the past 
I never did quite understand what she ment 
In spite of everything 
In spite of everything 

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down 
And I stumble with this whole thing runs aground 
I left another message, you are never around 
Everytime I look for you the sun goes down 
And I stumble with this whole thing runs aground 
I left another message, you are never around 
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
