Failing

(album: Staind - 2011)

Yeah, like the threat of the darkest clouds rolling in on a sunny day
Yeah, like a field that has no rain
Yeah, like a dog that wanders aimless, with no name
Yeah, like a cut without the pain

You couldn't live this?

And I'm just trying to get through to you
And I am failing

My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
I smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy

I've tried to... get through to you
I've tried to... I'm trying

And I'm still trying to get through to you
And I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
I smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy

I've tried to... get through to you
I've tried to
I've tried to... get through to you

I've tried to... get through

I've tried to... get through to you
I've tried to
