Songtext von I've Tried

I’ve been down Long and tedious roads Stood alone in the dark With all that i own My agenda is open and simple: I must survive, ohhhh There’s so many things one can regret And more that one denies But i’ll always have my pride Don’t you know that i’ve tried Shying away from danger Hiding the tears i’ve cried Brushing aside the anger God only knows how i’ve tried The words define And occupy our mind But the question remains: Is this craving for freedom Still what we strive? For our hearts are torn with delusions Of who we are, ohhhh So i’ll ask my judge and jurors be To take it all in stride Cuz’ it’s building up inside Don’t you know that i’ve tried Shying away from danger Hiding tears i’ve cried Brushing aside the anger Yes i’ve tried Letting the rest think for me Swallowing all my pride I never said i’m sorry But god only knows how i’ve tried Where is the sin? The crime is “knowing everything” So i often wonder: Why should i care When the crime’s everywhere? I might have been a fool For giving more than i had Don’t you know that i’ve tried Shying away from danger Hiding tears i’ve cried Brushing aside the anger Yes i’ve tried Letting the rest think for me Swallowing all my pride I never said i’m sorry But god only knows how i’ve tried Yes, god only knows how i’ve tried
