Believe me, I try
I try to keep trying -
Even when times are trying
- I - try to keep this man from crying
But my lips are filled with sighing
And I'm just wishing to see a sign

Believe me, I try
I try to keep open my eyes
Even when all I see are lies
I keep hoping I'd recognize
The truth beneath the disguise

Believe me, I try
I try to stay in line
I try to wish to stay alive
But I face so many declines
And I'm left questioning if it's even worth a try

I try to believe me
I try to release me
But I don't know me that well
So myself can't undo the spell
But believe me, I try
. . .
