"Tried To Be True" Lyrics

from baby to best with no second test
these little storms destroy you
here is the fame they promised to give you
taking the place of my hand now

well did you try to be true
what separates me from you now
what separates me from you

did you borrow the soul
the soul that you sell now
what does your conscience tell you
where are the demons
of your desires
why does my love destroy you

i said i tried to be true
what separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
i said i tried, tried to be true
what separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
what separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
i think it's you now

tell me where is the fame
where is the fortune
where is the world that denies you
who is to blame
when my heart finally forfeits
to a road that will only misguide you

well did we try to be true
what separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
oh did we try, try to be true
(what separates me from you now)
(what separates me from you now)
it separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
it separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
it's you
baby

yeah i bought my love a hunger
(i tried, tried to be true)
more precious than a stone
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
all these fatal flowers
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
did i misguide you?
(tried to be true)
