I Tried Songtext

von Paradise Fears

You always were my only tragedy
You were my muse, my everything
I never was too good at make-believing,
Never one to accept defeat and
What you want is what you got
And what I need is what you're not
All alone, I sang my songs
You messed with my heart all along

You were meant for bigger things
You built relationships on foundations of dreams
And I don't know if it's possible
To live with the consequence
How can you live like this?

How am I supposed to feel this hollow?
I'm just an addict of your love
I tried, I tried, I tried
I'll never get it back to where we used to be tomorrow
The truth is so hard to swallow
I tried, I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right

A song where love is honest,
Sing it loud so she hears the promise
The confidence that walls my heart is paper thin
Couldn't find the strength enough to keep you in
Because with you I never had the best luck,
Tried so hard but you don't really give a f*ck,
It's time to face the music,
Because the music's all I have

How am I supposed to feel this hollow?
I'm just an addict of your love
I tried, I tried, I tried
I'll never get it back to where we used to be tomorrow
The truth is so hard to swallow
I tried, I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right

Say your love was only for your gain
And now you do it all over again
Insanity makes my heart beat for only you alone

(I tried, I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right)
How am I supposed to feel this hollow?
I'm just an addict of your love
I tried, I tried, I tried
I'll never get it back to where we used to be tomorrow
The truth is so hard to swallow
I tried, I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
I tried, I tried, I'll never get it right
