I tried too hard

So many times

Only to get knocked down

I tried to find

The one who’s right for me

A relationship to fulfill

Every want, need, and feeling

I’ve tried to fill the hole

That takes up half my heart

Throughout my life

Everything I’ve tried

Has crumbled and fallen apart

When I think I’ve found the one

I try to make it work

I’ve tried too hard

Or not hard enough

Through all the mistakes

Through all the heartaches

I’m sick of all the games

I’m sick of all the lies

I’ve tried to stop all of this

I try so hard

I try too much

But nothing ever gets me anywhere

I don’t think I can wait much longer

Soon there won’t be anything left

Love will find me when it’s ready

But for now, I’m done trying
