[00:47.480]I've Tried
[00:47.480]
[00:55.721]I’ve been down
[00:58.973]long and tedious roads
[01:02.479]Stood alone in the dark
[01:05.974]with all that I own
[01:10.978]My agenda is open and simple:
[01:14.971]I must survive, ohhhh
[01:18.976]
[01:19.218]There’s so many things one can regret
[01:23.224]and more that one denies
[01:27.218]but I’ll always have my pride
[01:29.472]
[01:30.470]Don’t you know that I’ve tried
[01:33.477]shying away from danger
[01:37.471]hiding the tears I’ve cried
[01:41.720]brushing aside the anger
[01:45.725]God only knows how I’ve tried
[01:51.726]
[01:54.979]The words define
[01:58.180]and occupy our mind
[02:01.433]but the question remains:
[02:02.684]Is this craving for freedom
[02:07.434]still what we strive?
[02:11.682]For our hearts are torn with delusions
[02:14.874]of who we are, ohhhh
[02:19.122]
[02:19.622]So I’ll ask my judge and jurors be
[02:23.626]to take it all in stride
[02:26.622]cuz’ it’s building up inside
[02:30.129]
[02:30.373]Don’t you know that I’ve tried
[02:33.380]shying away from danger
[02:37.374]hiding the tears I’ve cried
[02:41.879]brushing aside the anger
[02:45.374]
[02:46.127]Yes I’ve tried
[02:49.879]letting the rest think for me
[02:53.627]swallowing all my pride
[02:57.621]I never said I’m sorry
[03:01.626]but God only knows how I’ve tried
[03:07.874]
[03:25.828]
[03:26.826]Where is the sin?
[03:29.323]The crime is “knowing everything”
[03:39.508]So I often wonder:
[03:41.516]Why should I care
[03:45.268]when the crime’s everywhere?
[03:49.760]I might have been a fool
[03:51.758]for giving more than I had
[03:53.765]
[03:54.507]Don’t you know what I’ve tried
[03:57.760]shying away from danger
[04:01.766]hiding the tears I’ve cried
[04:05.759]brushing aside the anger
[04:09.507]
[04:10.763]Yes I’ve tried
[04:14.013]letting the rest think for me
[04:17.765]swallowing all my pride
[04:21.758]I never said I’m sorry
[04:26.018]but God only knows how I’ve tried
[04:33.517]yes, God only knows how I’ve tried
