I tried 1000 times to get
Through to you
I tried and tried, even though
I’m not supposed to
Slipping down and out through
The other side
I think I might be losing
My alibi
I might be discovering
My shadow side
It’s not the first and I fear it’s not
The last time
I give it my all
But still I fall
I lay my soul bare
But you’re not there
