Failing Lyrics

Like the threat of the darkest clouds rolling in on a sunny day
Like a field that has no way
Like a dog that wanders aimless with no name
Like a cut without the pain

You got to feel this
You got to take the pain
You got to let go

And I'm just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy

Like the day your guardian angel decided to fly away
Like a bruise that doesn't fade
Like a memory that tortures your soul until your dying day
Like a life you couldn't save

You got to feel this
You got to take the pain
You got to let go

And I'm just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy

I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to

And I'm still just trying to get through to you
But I am failing
Lie like I'm not even here
My heart is breaking
Trying to see through your stare
It looks right through me
Smile and pretend I'm not there
To keep from going crazy

I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to
I tried to get through to you
I tried to

my favorite off their new album. i think its about a guy who likes a girl but she ignores him and acts like hes not there. and he tries really hard to talk to her but goes crazy over her. which explains how the song speeds up toward the end

I think he is trying to save someone. to me its about trying to get through to someone but he's failing at it, so he has to completely shut down emotionally as a way to cope, so that he doesn't go crazy.

yeah,like the day your guardian angel decided to fly away yeah, like the life you couldn't save

I think it about a unhealthy relationship and one of the people is trying to explain his/her's actions but the other person acts like that person isn't there so he/she is failing to get the other person's attention so they start going crazy.
