If I Tried lyrics

I was late

and dawn is near though tired as hell

just sitting here

suspended in one of my eternities

as I realized why

my body starts to freeze

I think of all

the hurt and pain you`ve gone through

and how I was never there for you

I think of all the lonely cries you`ve shed

as I lay comfortably

in this very bed

and though

I know deep down inside

I couldn`t

have helped you if I tried

but I hate myself for it anyway

I think of how you must have sat

all day and night

by the telephone

as your lonely tears begin to fill my eyes

outside the sun`s rays

have already touched the skies

(chorus)
