Time Tough - Toots & The Maytals

Every little part of me Is holding on to every little piece of you Is holding on to every drop of blood you drew Is holding onto you And every waking hour I spend Holding out for reasons not to go to bed I'm holding out for someone else to hold instead If every hope of you is dead 'Cause every night since you cut and run I feel like the only one who's ever been the lonely one Trying to mend a heart that keeps breaking With every step that you're taking 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough I find it hard to find my feet When I keep on stumbling over you and me But I keep on trying 'cause I know I need To outrun the memories And every day, I'm reminded of The way I let it come undone I feel like the lonely one The only one with time worth wasting Well, I still can't stop chasing 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough, oh Tough, oh, tough So wakin' up without you Say I Thought I was talkin' to you Say I I guess I'm talkin' to myself Me and nobody else 'Cause you've been running circles 'round My mind, turnin' me inside out And I fell for you, but hit the ground 'Cause the only love I've known has let me Down, and I need liftin' up Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough And I'm prayin' I can pray enough So wakin' up without you ain't so tough
