Holding high your little head
Walking backwards in your steps
Nobody knows you're dead
Lifeless heartbeat in your chest
Waiting the day you can rest
Take it from someone who sees
Both sides of the story
In the end I'm trying to break you
So much that I know you need
How did you wake from your sleep?
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside
Boy you got that sparkle eye
One I'd hope and pray I'd find
So much for loving you madly
Wonder which way you will go
Dragging my heart and I'm with you
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside
And I want to know
If I should go
And I want to know
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside
And I just had to tell you
I tried and I tried
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside
