What a Pity

this is what i'm hearing:

What a pity that it is The way to come back home I tried to make a point To sell the last of what I own Well I can feel your breeze Begin to choke my living soul But I promise that its worth it

What a pity that it is To write you in a song I tried to make the words become the kingdom to your soul No matter how I try, its just a lyric, nothing more And it cant be worth it

What a pity that it is, To know that your alone I tried to clean your place up, make it feel like you were home No matter how i try, its still a house on a sandy road And I'm not really worth it, No, I�m never really worth it And its not really worth it

maybe its about how he lost his wife, and even after she's gone, he tries to act like everything is okay, but he can't even take comfort in his home, simply because she's not there. and he tries to write about how he feels about her in a song, but there's no way of summing it up (whether its love, hate, disgust, longing, etc). so he thinks its not even worth the effort, just like he wasn't worth the effort to her?

It's not

"No matter how I tried, still the house won't send you now"

It's:

"No matter how I try, it's still a house on sand, you know"

In the last verse, I hear

"No matter how I tried, still the house won't send you now And I'm not really worth it"

Which to me makes sense in the context of the verse because he's trying to make it feel like she's there, but the house can't produce her

that was the part i wasnt sure of so thanks :]

I hear "What a pity that it is To write you in a song I tried to make the words become a kingdom to your soul No matter how I try it's just a lyric nothing more And it can't be worth it"
