I've Tried

(Album: Unisonic - 2012)

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 the 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 what I've tried
shying away from danger
hiding the 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
