Not For Want Of Trying

from What Safe Means by Kaji

lyrics

And in your eyes I can see it all.
Every day just like the ones before.
I’m sitting here, I’m sitting here where we used to meet.
I'm watching you.
I’m watching you walk away.

There's nothing more that you have to say.
There's nothing else that you want from me.
If I could ask for just another day, for just another day.
That would mean the world to me.

And I guess that's kind of true.

With you, I've seen a life and I've had a dream.
A shadow of what I used to be.
And now it's this dream that is haunting me.
It’s something I can’t wake from.


I wish I did better.
And I won't lie that you haven’t changed me.
Now I see clearer.
Your presence has aged me.
At least I am better.
Maybe I just never wanted you.
Maybe I'm a mess without you.
I want you to stay.

Why don’t we stay here.
With you in my view.
But you don’t want to stay.

Why don’t we stay here.
With you in my view.
But you don’t want to stay.

I tried, I tried to understand.
The pain in your eyes, your grander plans.
I’m trying, I’m trying.

Why can't I see the weight in your eyes.
These shaking feet can't seem to hold it's ground anymore.
I swear that I’m trying.

I’m sorry.
