I'm trying hard to understand I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a man Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be I'm trying hard to understand And to know just who I am I'm trying hard to get a break Or just to give a damn I'm trying hard to get away But I always seem to stay I'm trying hard to understand A fucking word you say Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be (The way I thought it'd be) Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away I'm trying hard to understand But I don't know if I can I'm trying hard to make the best Out of this mess I'm in Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me I can't hold on I can't believe it Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away I'm trying hard to understand
