Matt Costa I Tried Lyrics

I Tried Lyrics

Rats they run across the field

Crows rest in the tree

Barking madly at each other

Standing from the rooftop I screamed 

Won't you bark for me?

As you turn your back and fly away



Caught on the fence you left behind

Darted to an empty room I've tried

Oh I've tried, oh I've tririede

With nothing in return



When the wind that freed me 

From the roots that tied me down

Now I need them back for comforting

Carvings that we left in branches

Scarred up on this tree

Lingering our thoughts you left with me



Calling the phone that you ignore

Slowly walking backwards from your door

Oh I've tried

Now we're done fighting

It's time that you return



Candle its small light inside your 

Window that I see

Hoping that the light still shines for me

Standing on the curbside I screamed

Please come back

As you turn your back and fly away



Groundhogs digging with their claws

Burying their loves with dirty paws

Oh I've tried

There's no denying

My head is in the dirt
