You're a victim of the life you were given

Secondhand wisdom brought your heart out of rhythm

Left in the cold with nowhere to go

But I'm calling, calling you home

We're one in the same, a heartache in vain

So, don't be ashamed that you ain't found your way

I'm getting tired, I know you are too

And if you can't try for you

Then, baby, try, try, try for me

They say your bridge is burned

And you can't fake a smile

But baby, try, try, try for me

Love unrequited turned into violence

And people get quiet when you reach for their hand

You say it's no use, they won't try for you

And if you won't try too

Then, baby, try, try, try for me

Your heart is pure

Your head ain't clean

But hold it high for me

Oh, baby, try, try, try for me

They say your bridge is burned

You can't fake a smile

But baby, try, try, try

You're torn to bones and skin

And I can feel you givin' in

And if you go into the wind

Then, I will let it take me too

So, if you can't try for you

Then, baby, try, try, try for me

Let's watch the tables turn

Watch you stay a while

And baby, try, try, try, try for me

Oh, baby, try, come on

And try, try, try, try for me
