ASSEMBLAGE 23 - TRIED lyrics

rate me

I tried I failed to believe

In the reward I would receive

If only heaven's distant sun

Would burn away all the things I'd done

I tried to no avail

To keep my eyes from growing pale

But my vision came too late

And my belief started to abate

Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared

Worlds collide without a sound

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late

I looked into your eyes

For some sign of surprise

That I would question all of this

That I would stand upon that precipice

But the look would never come

As you just stood there growing numb

And your eyes dropped to the ground

In search of something I might find profound

Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared

Worlds collide without a sound

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late

I tried I failed to forgive

For the life you made me live

A confusing ride at best

And at its worst it seemed so meaningless

If there's a lesson to be learned

Some sort of wisdom to be earned

It held too great a price

It required too great a sacrifice

Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared

Worlds collide without a sound

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late

Worlds collide without a sound

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late
