Holding high your little head,
walking backwards in your steps.
Nobody knows you're dead.
Lifeless heartbeat in your chest,
waiting the day you can rest.
Take it from someone who sees
both sides of this story's
end and I'm trying to break you.
So much that I know you need--
How did you wake from your sleep?
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried.
But time goes by and now
I hold my tears inside.
Boy, you've got that sparkle I'd
want and hope and pray I'd find.
So much for loving you madly.
Wonder which way you will go,
dragging my heart along with you.
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried.
But time goes by and now
I hold my tears inside.
And I wanna know
if I should go.
And I wanna know...
And I just had to tell you
I tried and tried.
But time goes by and now
I hold my tears inside.
And I just had to tell you
I tried and I tried.
But time goes by and now
I hold my tears inside.
