At Least I Tried

Tried writing songs for the dying man.

Tried writing songs that would make him stand.

I tried to reach out with a helping hand.

At least I tried.

I closed my eyes and tried to watch myself disappear.

The whole world shattered and I drowned in tears.

I tried to rebuild what once was here.

At least I tried.

Tried writing songs for the common man.

Tried writing songs that he could understand.

It's just the same four chords, just by a different band.

At least we tried.

It's the fear that's locked my door,

And the need of wanting more.

It's the place I can't explore,

That keeps me from growing up.
