Well, I tried....not quite that simple guys

I walk the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Its been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting

You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces


It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you
I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you

So I was talking with some people and found out some interesting things. Its funny when you find out stuff about people you would have never expected it from. But then, that's what it's all about isn't it? Finding out who people really are and in the end, what they will do. I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest, tried to be everything that you ever wanted. But I've realized that sometimes it doesn't matter what I've tried because when it comes down to it, I will be those things because I have the strength and endurence and most of all the will. When I hear what others have done I imediantly judge them and most of the time its as a bad person or a bad choice, and it shows me that they arn't strong enough to do what they should have. It makes me feel as if deep down...they dont have what it takes and that they're not gonna make it, I wish they could, but they should have tried harder. When people tell me how good I am at guitar, I usually say "I know" and its not because I'm a super cock jerk, but because I know how hard I've worked my butt off to get here and I know that it's payed off and I thank God consantly for my gift, so maybe I'm not humble right up front, but really when someone tells me how great I am, I do know because its what I live and breathe and constantly working harder and harder at.
