I Tried

[Verse]

It’s honesty

Not apathy

Thay brings to light

These broken dreams

I’ll explain why I

Left the race

Medicated

Slow and steady

Waiting but never ready

Why run hard to finish

In last place?

[Chorus]

I didn’t sink

I didn’t swim

I didn’t gain a thing

But I tried

[Verse]

If only you

Would understand

I’m made of loosely

Woven strands

When I stand I bend

To gravity

It’s hard enough

Just getting up

The follow-through

Proves far too much

I’m not givin’ up

Just givin’ in

You see

[Chorus]

Through it all

I still attest

I did my best

I tried

I tried

I tried
