I've been thinking of you my friend
Asking myself when I will be going your way again
And I don't know if I need the lies that comfort me
But I know I'm tired of having secrets but no one to tell
Watching my garden grow all by myself

And I try
I try
I try
I try to be

I try
I try
I try to be

And I know that I ain't been right
And I know I spent way too much time in the briar
In the brambles of my mind

But I've been trying to get free
And I've been hoping that you can see
Cause you know I'd like to be more in your eyes
Just a born again dreamer getting high

And I try
I try
I try
I try to be

I try
I try
I try to be
