Tried to be smarter
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
And it took the season's going by
Tried to be honest
I used to wait up forever
Tried to be everything
I want to
Tried to be honest
I used to say a prayer
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything
Tried to be smarter
It took the season's going by
Just a picture of Jesus
To know it's not my fault
I need you
Then I woke up to no one
I tried be perfect
Since you've been home
I want you
Tried to be smarter
That you ever wanted
I tried to be perfect
Believe you
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be everything but you
Tried to be everything but you
And I'm still waiting
Believe you
Let's go back in time
When I could read your mind
Tried to be everything
You'd show up
I tried to be stronger
That you ever wanted
Tried to be everything but you
I tried to be perfect
I tried to be stronger
I want you
It's been so long
You told me once
To know it's not my fault
I fell to pieces
But I fell for that before
That you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
And a house left in pieces
Tried to be everything but you
I need you
I tried to be stronger
So, I've been waitin'
Tried to be honest
Tried to be honest
I want to
Tried to be everything
That you ever wanted
I've been waiting forever
Wishing you were there
