Failing

Like the threat of the darkest clouds rolling in on a sunny day
Like a field that has no way
Like a dog that wanders aimless with no name
Like a cut without the pain
You got to feel this
You got to take the pain
You got to let go
And I'm just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy
Like the day your guardian angel decided to fly away
Like a bruise that doesn't fade
Like a memory that tortures your soul until your dying day
Like a life you couldn't save
You got to feel this
You got to take the pain
You got to let go
And I'm just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
And I'm still just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
