Tried |
| I tried, I failed to believe |
| In the reward I would receive |
| If only heaven’s distant sun |
| Would burn away all the things I’d done |
| I tried to no avail |
| To keep my eyes from growing pale |
| But my vision came too late |
| And my belief started to abate |
| Like a tide recedes from rocky shores |
| I drew back no matter how much you implored |
| I have failed to see the beauty here |
| Everything I loved has disappeared |
| Worlds collide without a sound |
| And flames arise from frozen ground |
| But nothing can bring back my faith |
| You tried your best, but I’m afraid that it’s too late |
| I looked into your eyes |
| For some sign of surprise |
| That I would question all of this |
| That I would stand upon that precipice |
| But the look would never come |
| As you just stood there growing numb |
| And your eyes dropped to the ground |
| In search of something I might find profound |
| Like a tide recedes from rocky shores |
| I drew back no matter how much you implored |
| I have failed to see the beauty here |
| Everything I loved has disappeared |
| Worlds collide without a sound |
| And flames arise from frozen ground |
| But nothing can bring back my faith |
| You tried your best, but I’m afraid that it’s too late |
| I tried, I failed to forgive |
| For the life you made me live |
| A confusing ride at best |
| And at its worst, it seemed so meaningless |
| If there’s a lesson to be learned |
| Some sort of wisdom to be earned |
| It held too great a price |
| It required too great a sacrifice |
| Worlds collide without a sound |
| And flames arise from frozen ground |
| But nothing can bring back my faith |
| You tried your best, but I’m afraid that it’s too late |
