At first it seemed perfect.
Everything was fine.
I didn't care about your flaws
And I still don't mind.
Something bothered you.
But you weren't saying.
I tried to make it through.
I ended up failing.
But I tried.
Oh, how I tried.
Things began to fall apart.
I could feel the end coming.
But you just said,
"It is nothing."
But I tried.
Oh, how I tried.
In the end it was you.
You did the breaking.
And the whole time.
It was me you were blaming.
But I tried.
Oh, how I tried.
I tried and I tried.
I ended up failing.
