So I go
I'm packing my bags for a longer trip
Heart and soul
Are drifting away with my love again

And all the misery and pain
Why do I always have to lock it up?
She knows, she knows I'm troubled
I was just trying to work it out for us

'Cause every minute, every second
My heartbeat counts the hours
And every day I pay for the mistakes I've been making
I'm done justifying
Can't you see I'm dying, baby
Every minute, every second my heartbeat counts the hours

Should've known
That only choices I make come around
Like a song
I remember the chorus
But all the words are gone

And all the misery and pain
Why do I always have to lock it up?
She knows, she knows I'm troubled
I was just trying to work it out for us

'Cause every minute, every second
My heartbeat counts the hours
And every day I pay for the mistakes I've been making
I'm done justifying
Can't you see I'm dying, baby
Every minute, every second my heartbeat counts the hours

And all the misery and pain
Why did I have to go and fuck it up?
She knows, she knows I'm troubled
I was just trying to work it out for us
Work it out for us

'Cause every minute, every second
My heartbeat counts the hours
And every day I pay for the mistakes I've been making
I'm done justifying
Can't you see I'm dying, baby
Every minute, every second my heartbeat counts the hours
