Tried and Failed lyrics
by Frank Turner
[Verse 1]
If I duck out of socials but still take photos
Do the pictures sit on my phone feeling lonely?
If I build a soapbox out of recycled quotes
Can we stand upon it
Shouting into our echo chamber?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where we are going
Each new song starts with the first word of the verse
Then runs into the distance
[Chorus]
Fire away 'cause I can't feel nothing at all today
I wish I could change things
But I've tried and failed again
Tried and failed
[Verse 2]
If I duck out of vocals but still write prose
Will I be more comfortable with the way that I'm ageing?
If we build our hopes up then this implodes
Will you still bе proud of the band
That we built up togethеr?
[Pre-Chorus]
There is no way of knowing
If each new song starts with the first word of the verse
What's waiting in the distance
[Chorus]
Fire away 'cause I can't feel nothing at all today
I wish I could change things
But I've tried and failed again
Tried and failed
To doc*ment this night
Do we do it for the love or for the likes?
I've tried and failed again
Tried and failed
[Bridge]
Emily told me that I should listen to my body
That I should get some rest
But what should I try
When the world outside is killing me anyway?
Emily told me that I should listen to my body
And that she knows what's best
But what should I try
When the world outside is killing us all?
(Woah)
(Woah)
Why should I try? Why should I try?
(Woah)
(Woah)
Why should I try?
[Chorus]
Fire away 'cause I can't feel nothing at all today
I wish I could change things
But I've tried and failed again
Tried and failed
To doc*ment this night
Do we do it for the love or for the likes?
I've tried and failed again
Tried and failed
