One by one
Dreams are gone
Do I have to stay?
Hate the sound of one more pound
As it rolls away
Why did I need your proof
When I knew the truth?
And I don't know why
I just let slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you had tried
I don't want to know your game
Let alone her name
Don't matter what you say to me
We are not the same
Why do you make me cry
And try to justify?
Don't right your wrongs with my mistakes
'Cause my head's held high
And I don't know why
I just let slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you had tried
And I don't know why
I just let slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you had tried
Dreams we have as kids all fade away
Now it's not the same
And I don't know why
I just let slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you had tried
And i don't know why
I just let slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you had tried
