[Verse 1]
I am not a child now
I can take care of myself
I musn't let them down now
I musn't let them see me cry
'Cause I'm fine, I'm fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm too tired to listen
I'm too old to believe
All these childish stories
There is no such thing as faith
And trust, and pixie dust

[Chorus]
I try
But it's so hard to believe
I try
But I can't see what you see
I try, I try, I try

[Verse 2]
My whole world is changin'
I don't know where to turn
I can't leave you waitin'
But I can't stay and watch the city burn
Watch it burn
[Chorus]
'Cause I try
But it's so hard to believe
I try
But I can't see what you see
I try, I'll try

[Bridge]
I try and try to understand
The distance in between
The love I feel, the things I fear
And every single dream

[Pre-Chorus]
I can finally see it
Now I have to believe
All those precious stories
All the world is made of faith
And trust, and pixie dust

[Chorus]
So, I'll try
'Cause I finally believe
I'll try
'Cause I can see what you see
I'll try, I'll try
[Outro]
I'll try, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
To fly
