(**** man)
Tell me that there's more than this
Loved one's enthralled in an orphan's bliss
I could see her while she fall to bits
But she never would admit it though
Rather call it quits
It's all a cinch if you know how to handle it
But she didn't know, it was never in the manuscript
The hand she flipped, never worked out
Got her percs from the jerks that she always hung out
With one sniff head turned to the clouds
She never would admit it though
Kept it in the shroud
So proud of the person she was
When I asked why she hurt, she just said because
More drugs is all she had to turn to
And more spoons is all she had to burn through
Her fortunes, they hardly ever came true
She'd never hold the guilt, she'd just blame you
(I been trying)
So hard but it's been too long now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
I don't know who she is now, man
(I been trying)
So hard but she doesn't even know me now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
She never would admit it
She'd storm in with an enormous grin
I could tell she got knighted by the great syringe
The sword that got her, was called the life robber
But she never would admit it though
Even when I spot her
I gotta lotta trust, but never when it comes to crust
These deep endeavours, are never gonna let it up
She never rest, but then again in death we must
So it's best that the messed day is dust
All she wanted, was one big rush
But she never would admit it though
Kept it on a hush
Clutched to the bag, never let it go
Evidently so high and low, heaven sinner blow
Offending crime liar with a mindset blown
Fending off fires in an island of her own
Pretending not to cry when she's feeling all alone
She phones where she lives, but rarely calls it home
(I been trying)
So hard but it's been too long now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
I don't know who she is now, man
(I been trying)
So hard but she doesn't even know me now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
She never would admit it
Now bipolar, she denied that I told her so
Never would admit it though - ever!
She's a clever one, but never when it comes to cash
I'm fed up now, sick of all the hidden trash
Feeling bad is only part of the sickness
Never would admit it though, even with a witness
She figures it'll blow over in a second
Never happens in an instant, no matter what she reckons
She's at the beckon call, of the wrecking ball
Lesson for all is to never mess with any cause
On all fours, and it's hard to get up
Dug a hole so deep, now she just can't get up
Hard being stuck between a rock and a spoon
Now she can't stop, won't stop
If before noon
Never would admit it, not any time soon
But now she's gotta quit it or she end up like a loon
(I been trying)
So hard but it's been too long now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
I don't know who she is now, man
(I been trying)
So hard but she doesn't even know me now
(Lord knows that I been trying)
She never would admit it
