Matt Costa - I Tried lyrics

Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree

Barking madly at each other

Standing from the rooftop I screamed "Won't you bark for me?"

As you turn your back and fly away

Caught on the fence you left behind

Darted to an empty room I've tried

Oh, I've tried, oh, I've tried

With nothing in return

When the wind that 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 our thoughts you left with me

Calling the phone that you ignore

Slowly walking backwards from your door

Oh, I've tried

Now we're done fighting

It's time that you return

Candle its small light inside your window that I see

Hoping that the light still shines for me

Standing on the curbside I screamed "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 denying

My head is in the dirt
