I Tried

I-Should let you know
That if you can't keep up you'll be laughed at like a joke
And that those lights-on the other side
They're not so bright
Though-I still feel young
My body is old-It's almost done
My heart of gold-Has been bought and sold
My stories told
My name in lights on the city marque
Feels like a dream now
That I remember well
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights-I barely survived
I lived the way I wanted
Now lost it
Just like I thought I might
I've been all I'll be
Everyone has gone away
I've lost all company
I just think back
Back to when
Oh you should've seen me then
I had a house down in Miami
It feels like a dream now
That I remember well
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights- I barely survived
And I lived
The way I wanted
Until I lost it
Just like I thought I might
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights-I barely survived
And I lived
The way I wanted
Now I lost it
