Didn't Try
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Broken mirror, seven years of bad luck
I'm too supersticious to relax and let it slide
A broken promise, seven sins on my back
I'm so blinded by illusions that I can't keep track
of what is real and what is fiction
- what is fiction anyhow?
I read too much into reflections when
reflections only lie
Look to happy to feel sorry for the times
I didn't try
I didn't try
I didn't try
hard enough to fly
Broke the surface seven seconds too late
I'm too narrow-minded to let a winner
get away with that
Broke the rules and I escaped into a bubble
and I will stay here 'til it breaks and then I'll run
as fast as I can from what is real and what is fiction
- what is fiction anyhow?
I read too much into reflections when
reflections only lie
Look too happy to feel sorry for the times
I didn't try
I didn't try
I didn't try
hard enough to fly
