As hard as I try

as hard as I fail

you'd think I'd walk away

from you

But time after time

I keep coming back again

trying to believe that it's all true

So here I stand

believing in your lie

thinking it's the only way

a boy like me

survives

Time after time

Dream after dream

when I find they're not quite

what them seem

And fight after fight

Pain After pain

I find the tears

aren't worth the gain

Then you come back

serving up your lie

promising a boy like me

that with you I can survive

And time after time

I keep running back to you

wanting to believe that it's all true

But as hard as I try

As hard as I fail

You'd think I'd turn my back

on you

But I stand here now

believing in your lie

knowing it's the only way

a man like me

survives
