I haven't slept, cannot eat, I must submit, admit defeat.
I don't want to lose this time,
I don't want to lose my mind.
I realize the mess I'm in,
I realize that I can't win.
That doesn't mean that I won't try.
That it won't stop the urge to cry.

I'll try to turn things
around, but get turned upside down.
I'll try to make things right
but instead start a fight.
I'll try my best just for you,
but trying my best just won't do.
I'll try but never give up,
but trying isn't enough.

I'm not that smart but not dumb,
just don't expect to see me run.
I always learn from mistakes,
I always learn real from fake.
This world has not been so easy,
This world at times is cruel to me.
but cruelest is this twist of fate,
My wish to change things came too
late.

I'll try to turn things around,
but get turned upside down.
I'll try to make things right,
but instead, start a fight.
I'll try my best just for you,
but trying my best just won't do.

Sincerity, not charity, Is what I offer everyone.
But truthfully they cannot see,
they turn away and sometimes run.
Listen to me, I'll always be
the person you can depend on.
It's not easy for me to see how
things could turn to be so wrong.

I plan but never execute,
my failures seem so resolute.
With every other word I speak,
it feels I waste another week.
I've dug a hole that I can't climb,
but climb I will until I find,
that after all this climbing's done,
I can rest here after I've won.

I'll try to turn things around,
but get turned upside down.
I'll try to make things right,
but instead, start a fight.
I'll try my best just for you,
but trying my best just won't do.
I'll try but never give up,
but trying isn't enough.

Sincerity, not charity,
Is what I offer everyone.
But truthfully they cannot see,
they turn away and sometimes run.
Listen to me, I'll always be
the person you can depend on.
It's not easy for me to see how
things could turn to be so wrong.
