"Couldn't Get It Right" lyrics

I'm looking for the right words to say to you
Cause I know you've heard them a time or two
I can't feel everybody but you
When you're in my eyes you can see straight through
Last night I dreamt we never change
When the roof we built settled up in flames
As I touched but then chased you were too far to save
Now I'm lost between dreams and being awake

Cause I, I couldn't get it right
No matter what I've tried to say
My words just gave me away
Yeah and you, you don't know what to do
I'll take a drink or two to ease my mind
And sleep this away

But can we just hit the light, the light of day
Open up our eyes, see beyond the fray
I tried to talk, it was never enough
Did my breath fall short or did I say too much
I've heard the voice, I captured the sound
Made a song not the same now that you're not around
And I, I've tried to change
You say that I've come so far but remain the same

Cause I, I couldn't get it right
No matter what I've tried to say
My words just gave me away
Yeah and you, you don't know what to do
I'll take a drink or two to ease my mind
And sleep this away

I'll sleep this away
I'll sleep this away
Yeah

Yeah and I, I couldn't get it right
No matter what I've tried to say
My words just gave me away, yeah
Yeah and you, you don't know what to do
I'll take a drink or two to ease my mind
And sleep this away, yeah yeah

Yeah
Yeah

Yeah yeah cause I, I couldn't get it right
No matter what I've tried to say
My words just gave me away
Yeah and you, you don't know what to do
I'll take a drink or two to ease my mind
And sleep this away
I'll sleep this away
