Lyrics
Because I Tried
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.
The weight, my chest like thunder
The stench, the ground she's under
As if nobody loved her
But I loved her
How has it come to this?
Who gets off on unconsciousness?
I feel so powerless.
Am I a fool because I tried?
Am I a fool because I tried?
The violent crack of thunder
The anxious air she's under
As if I didn't love her
But I love her
How has it come to this?
A week's worth of happiness
Has it all been meaningless?
Am I to blame because I tried?
Am I to blame because I tried?
How many months have I?
How many times did I?
You were closer than I
How many moments have I?
How many times did I?
But you were farther than I
I can sleep because I tried
