When it started we had high hopes;
Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes...
When it started we were alright,
But night makes a fool of us in daylight.

There we were dying of frustration,
Saying, "Lord lead me not into temptation."
But it's not easy when she turns you on...
Since they've gone.

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes.
Whether you will is anybody's guess.
God only, God knows I'm trying my best,
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness.

So up they picked me by the big toe;
I was held from the rooftop, then they let it go.
If there's any screaming let the windows down,
As I crawl to the ground.

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes.
Whether you will is anybody's guess.
God only, God knows she won't let me rest,
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness.
I've become so tired of this loneliness.
