Lyrics
I'm sleeping all day and I'm crying all night
I never meant to quarrel but it always ended in a fight
I've looked at it a hundred ways to try and make it right
But there ain't no trying left in me
And I can't find one reason why that
maybe you and I should
carry on with this uncertainty
Shouldn't we agree to disagree
I've known it for a long time but I couldn't find the words
I didn't want to tell you, I knew how much that it would hurt
It really isn't easy to admit that we were wrong
So I wrote it in my song
I couldn't stand to be with you
telling you things that were not true
and knowing all the time that it was wrong
I couldn't stay when all the love had gone
I try to say I'm sorry but it doesn't mean a thing
I try to say it all ways but it seems there is no way that I can win
Is it that you cannot hear or don't you really care
Or will you cry when I'm not there
Can't you answer me some way
Or just tell me to go away
For God sake don't just turn away and stare
Oh try and find some words to make this fair
It really isn't easy it's the hardest thing I've ever had to
do
But I've been holding on so much longer than I wanted to
Now I'm telling you that I'm
Really gonna leave now Ill just walk right out the door
Feeling like the first time yet I've been through it a
hundred times before
Drop the latch behind me and I'll leave my key inside
It feel like part of me has died
I don't expect I'll visit you
You'll have a lot of things to day
And anyway I will not have the time
There's another mountain I must climb
Oh there's another mountain
There's another mountain I must climb
There's another mountain I must climb
Oh there's another mountain
There's another mountain I must climb
