Tried & Tied
I tried to be there for you, but you tied my hands...
I tried to be a friend, but you tied my hands...
I tried to care, but you tied my hands...
I tried to love you, but you tied my hands.
I tried to need you, but you tied my hands...
I tried to be near you, but you tied my hands...
I tried to just be, but you tied my hands...
I tried to open my heart, but you tied my hands.
I tried to tell myself it would be different, but you tied my hands...
I tried to tell myself it had all changed, but you tied my hands...
I tried to tell myself we were going to be ok, but you tied my hands...
I tried to open my soul, but you tied my hands.
I tried not to need you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to want you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to give myself to you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to pray for you, but you tied my hands.
I tried not to weep for you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to bleed for you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to lie to you, but you tied my hands...
I tried not to die for you, but you tied my hands.
I tried all of this and still it never falls the same...
I push you away and still you came...
Every time I give to you, I tried, but over and over...
my hands were tied.
