I try hard not to compromise her freedom

She tries so hard when she steers

And where's that God when I need Him

He always disappears

And walks away

Into yesterday

I tried too hard

Let down my guard again



You know I'm

Down here in the self defeat

You know it's kinda hard to make ends meet

In this town

I'm real tired and I can't relate

You know she don't appreciate my heart

In this town



I'm such a mess



Sometimes you gotta gotta let it go

She thinks of the yesterday as a window

For which she cannot see

And I know her past is gone; it's dirty

Yeah, polluted just like me

When will she love

You'll never know

I think too hard

Let down my guard again



You know I'm

Gave hope but there ain't no use

I may be young but that's no excuse

In this town

I've been tired and I still can't see

You know it might be you but it won't be me

In this town



She's such a mess

I know

She can't see but I know

I know



I tried too hard

Let down my guard again

When you're down here in the self defeat

You know it's kinda hard to make ends meet

In this town

I'm real tired and I can't relate

You know

She don't appreciate my heart in this town



We're such a mess

I know

Such a mess

I know
