Tried Lyrics

I tried I failed to believe

In the reward I would receive

If only
heaven's distant sun 

Would burn away all the things I'd done



I tried to no avail

To keep my eyes from growing pale

But my
vision came too late

And my belief started to abate 



Like a
tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you
implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved
has disappeared 



CHORUS

Worlds collide without a sound 

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my
faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late



I looked into your eyes 

For some sign of surprise

That I would
question all of this

That I would stand upon that precipice



But the look would never come 

As you just stood there growing numb


And your eyes dropped to the ground 

In search of something I
might find profound



Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I
drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty
here

Everything I loved has disappeared 



(CH) 



I
tried I failed to forgive

For the life you made me live 

A confusing
ride at best

And at its worst it seemed so meaningless



If
there's a lesson to be learned 

Some sort of wisdom to be earned

It
held too great a price

It required too great a sacrifice



Like
a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you
implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved
has disappeared
