From the recording The Black Rose
Lyrics
I should be quiet 'cause it ain’t worth the fight
And there’s no chance of you listening tonight
Maybe in the morning time
Well, actually, never mind
There’ll never be a time
For me to say
It hurts this way
Well, I don’t mean to interrupt your life
But why is it me who has to sacrifice?
Every time,
But not tonight
Well my heads hurtin’ baby and my back does, too
But I should feel better when I come home to you
When I tell you I ain’t happy say there's nothin’ you can do
Well try a little listen when I tell you that I’m blue
Maybe in the nighttime when there's so much on my mind
There’ll never be a time
For me to say
It hurts this way
There's something 'bout lying here in silence
Head full of things we're afraid to say
There’s something about needing you the way that I do
That makes it hard to say
It hurts this way
Well, I don’t mean to interrupt your life
But why is it me who has to sacrifice?
Every time,
Well, not tonight
Not tonight
'Cause I’m cold and I’m lonely and needing somebody to care
Not tonight
Not sure there’s a God so who’s gonna answer my prayers
Not tonight
Tell me that you hear me and I’m not screaming into the dark
Not tonight
'Cause I’m not sure this is working anymore
For me to say
It hurts this way
Well, I refuse to be the one to blame
For all the shots you missed because you couldn’t aim
Every time
But not
Tonight
