I've Tried

By Bruce Clifford 

I don’t have the time to waste

I never knew I was in a race

We never meant to see the other side

All the futures, all these passing byes

We never thought we could be like before

All the manufactured reasons walked out that door

We never tried to see the other dream

The many reasons why we might never know what this means

Now I’m looking for a brand new light

The transformation from the darkest sky

Whatever the reason during the middle of the night

At least I know I’ve tried

Oh how I’ve tried

You never told me there as no other way out

You never said to me you were no longer on the cloud

You never took my hand when I took that leap of faith

You never looked into my eyes as I drifted off into space

I don’t have the time to waste

I never knew I was in a race

We never meant to see the other side

All of the reasons why we had to say goodbye
