I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I try and I try but the words keep failing me
Alright, right, right
You know I try, try, try, try
But the words keep failing me
Alright, right, right
And ones that I love the most
That's when the words just fail me
Alright, right, right
So you keep me out in the dark 'cause the words fail me
Alright, right, right

So how can I convey the feelings
If I'm staring at the ceiling?
Tell me how can I see the light?

You know when you said
Maybe you're better off in your own head
'Cause the words were failing you
Well you know it's alright, right, right
'Cause I knew what you needed all along
But the words just failed me
Alright, right, right

So how can I convey the feelings
If you're staring at the ceiling?
Tell me how can you see the light?

How you still permeate my dreamin'
When my wounds were still healing?
Tell me how do you sleep at night?

So I gave you a gift
Wrapped up in a box
But when you opened it up
It was a empty gesture

I, I, I, I try, try, try, tried
But the words just keep failin' me
Alright, righ, right
You, you know, you know I try, I try, I try, try, try
But the words keep failing me
Alright, right, right
