lyrics

At Least You Tried x 5
It's okay, I don't think it was mean to work out but I commend you sir because you tried.

What's a pretty gal like yourself doin talkin to a guy like me?
see I don't go out much and no one ever talks to me

People often spark a conversation that leads to a dead end road...
Then they run away hoping to never see dirt anymore

Okay this person seems friendly, ill give it a go
Oh Look I done fucked it up again...
What do ya know...
Well that's okay I don't think I was meant to have much friends anyway,
But thanks anyway

At least you tried x 5
I know that didn't go anywhere but I commend you ma'am because you tried

I have these blockages that I blame for my self loneliness
But it's alright cus when I'm alone is where I'm the most comfortable, so don't feel for me. It's not so bad you see. I just wish I could be as lucid as I want to be,
To be honest with you sometimes I wish that things were different, I wished that I could move out of this cocoon that I live in
But it's okay, it's alright
I see myself in a different light...
And I really don't mind the view.
I just have to face the facts that I'm incompatible with my peers. So I'm okay, thanks anyway

At least you tried x 5
I don't think it was meant to work
Just like many things in my life but at least you tried

At least you tried to understand my refrain, tried to distinguish what causes my mind to drain, tried to be there for me but you didn't know where, tried to diagnose me tried to show me I was fine. The same old lines with the same old stories, the same old people who pretend they adore me, they tried to shower me with their un-nurtured love, when in reality I know they don't give a fuck,
So I turn myself in take myself out
Rip out my vocals screaming out loud
Sing this song as a gesture of thanks
Appreciate the concern but it this is how it should be but

At least you tried x 5
Sometimes you just can't change your output in life but at least you tried

Ill survive another day, but thank you anyway! At least you tried
