I Tried
Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree Barking madly at each other Standing from the rooftop i scream "Won't you bark for me?" As you turn your back and fly away Caught on the fence you've left behind Dive into an empty pool, I've tried Oh I've tried Oh I tried writing with nothing in return When the wind freed me from the roots that tied me down Now I need them back for comforting Carvings that we left in branches scarred up on this tree Lingering are thoughts you left with me Calling the phone that you ignore Slowly walking backwards from your door Oh I've tried Now we are done fighting, it's time that you return Candle lit small light inside your window that I see Hoping that the light still shines for me Standing on the curbside I scream "Please come back!" As you turn your back and fly away Groundhogs digging with their claws Burying their loves with dirty paws Oh I've tried There's no igniting, my head is in the dirt From Letras Mania
