You laid the colors down and you left them out
And I tried to paint something that would make you proud
But I ran those colors through with your very blood
And I drove my bristles through the heart of your love
Your love, oh, your love…
So I closed my eyes and I held my breath
I just tried to deny all of my regrets
Oh, but no I can’t escape the weight of my hands
I say, change, try to change – but I know that I can’t, I can’t
I can’t, I can’t
But I
Try and I try and I try
To make it right again
Try and I try and I try
To make it right again
Try and I try and I try – to make it right again
Try and I try and I try – to make it right again
God knows how I try
Oh, God knows how I try
Try and I try and I try
Try and I try….
You laid the colors down and you left them out
And maybe my failed attempts can still make you proud
