Lord Knows I Have Tried

I’ve been feeling dizzy, I can’t find my feet,
I’m stumbling over words I want to speak,
And all my clothes no longer fit,
I know I know your name, but I can’t remember it.
Please don’t let me leave here without saying goodbye,
I haven’t always done the right things, but Lord knows I have tried,
And carry my heart with you, it’s yours for you to keep,
Now lie with me while I sleep.
Oh my love, I know that you believe,
But I think that all we have is all we see,
I’m nailed to this bed, it’s kinda like a cross,
So think of me when hope is lost.
Please don’t let me leave here without saying goodbye,
I haven’t always done the right things, but Lord knows I have tried,
And carry my heart with you, it’s yours for you to keep,
Now lie with me while I sleep.
Your family’s going crazy and growing up too fast,
Know that none of us will ever last,
So pack your bags and read your lines, learn your lessons and do your time,
And be happy in the skin you’ve grown,
Tell your girl you love her so, hold her close don’t let her go,
'cos we all die, we all die alone.
Please don’t let me leave here without saying goodbye,
I haven’t always done the right things, but Lord knows I have tried,
And carry my heart with you, it’s yours for you to keep,
Now lie with me while I sleep,
I’ll lie with you, rest in peace.
