We Tried

I needed a place to go
Yeah, that's what you told me
So I went to your house to try to find you in your room
Why can't I find you now?
Walking alone tonight
Wishing you were still here
Wishing things were alright
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We took down the icicles
The way they melt in your hand
You told me you loved me at an age I didn't understand
I didn't understand
Walking alone tonight
Wishing you were still here
Wishing things were alright
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
Where will we go when we get old?
Where will we go when we get old, old?
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
We tried, oh yeah we tried
And we died, oh yeah we died
