Tried to be True

----- -- -- ----



From baby to best with no second test,

little storms destroy you.



Here is the fame they promised to give you,

taking the place of my hand now.



Chorus:

Did you try to be true?

What separates me from you?

What separates me from you now?



Did you borrow the soul

the soul that you sell now?

What does your conscience tell you?

Where are the demons

of your desire?

Why does my love destroy you?



I said I tried to be true,

What separates me from you.

I said I tried, tried to be true

What separates me from you.

What separates me from you now?



So where is the fame,

Where is the fortune?

Where is the world that denies you?

Who is to blame,

When my heart finally forfeits

to a road that will only misguide you?



Did we try to be true?

What separates me from you?

Did we try, try to be true?

What separates me from you . . .



I bought my love a hunger

more precious than a stone.

All these fatal flowers,

Did I misguide you?

(where is the world that denies you)

(tried to be true)
