I Can Always Say I Tried

Be it near or be it farther
Every beat was gettin' stronger without you

Be a loser or a cheat
Commemorate the flaws repeat them at your peril

And ooh it hurts too long, mmh
And ooh the earth may never notice and why should she?

Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Open water dusk to dawn
If it kills us, then so be it
I won't be hangin' on, and I
Can always say I tried

Be you daughters be you songs
We'll give you all of what we are for good or worse
Be it godly referendum or a weakly uttered whisper we will
Pick up our pieces we will finish what we can

And ooh it hurts too long, mmh
And ooh the earth may never notice and why should she?

Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Open water dusk to dawn
If it kills us, then so be it
I won't be hangin' on, and I
Can always say I tried

Tell the angels mind their business
They aren't reaping what I've sewn
Beat me down destroy my army
Break me up then make me whole

Tell the angels mind their business
They aren't reaping what I've sewn
Beat me down destroy my army
Break me up then make me whole

Does it hurt you
Like it hurts me?
Does it hurt you?
Mmh, mmh
