I tried I failed to believe
In the reward I would receive
If only heaven's distant sun
Would burn away all the things I'd doneI tried to no avail
To keep my eyes from growing pale
But my vision came too late
And my belief started to abateLike a tide recedes from rocky shores
I drew back no matter how much you implored
I have failed to see the beauty here
Everything I loved has disappearedCH
Worlds collide without a sound
And flames arise from frozen ground
But nothing can bring back my faith
You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too lateI looked into your eyes
For some sign of surprise
That I would question all of this
That I would stand upon that precipiceBut the look would never come
As you just stood there growing numb
And your eyes dropped to the ground
In search of something I might find profoundLike a tide recedes from rocky shores
I drew back no matter how much you implored
I have failed to see the beauty here
Everything I loved has disappeared(CH)I tried I failed to forgive
For the life you made me live
A confusing ride at best
And at its worst it seemed so meaninglessIf there's a lesson to be learned
Some sort of wisdom to be earned
It held too great a price
It required too great a sacrificeLike a tide recedes from rocky shores
I drew back no matter how much you implored
I have failed to see the beauty here
Everything I loved has disappeared
