This could be what I had dreamed,
Never really knowing what worth stood to mean.
Planted fears grow steadily,
Flowering of reasoning’s misery.
I will try.
I will try.
Carefully breaking me,
Shattering the pieces that I’d like to keep.
Memories all too clear,
Trying only to betray what I fear.
I will try.
I will try.
This is all I want for you now -
Knowing I will be okay somehow.
Whether I…I knew or lied,
Always wanted to believe, painless or not.
Empty, my attempt to stop
Giving in and only to be left with trying.
I will try.
I will try.
I will try.
I will try.
