I Tried.

All I can say is I tried

That I gave it my best shot

But sometimes things don't work out

Even if you want them a lot

No, it isn't fair

And I can't make it right

You gave me all you had

Just to get close to my light

But that light is made of flames

Burning up all I've seen

And it will burn you up too

And everything you might have been

I know you say you can bear the flames

That your skin is tough

But even the thickest skin gives

When it's had too much

You may have strength to spare

With arms built to take the weight

But no one can support a world

That's not just blooming late
