I lived a life I can't forget
Where every time I placed a bet
I'd win it over and over
But something in me snapped
Now I can't stop looking back
Over my shoulder
I can't do what I need to
Before I run out of time
I won't say but I need you
To throw me a line 'cos I'm so far behind
And now my life has passed me by
Now my choices have burned me alive
If I'd changed it or rearranged it
Then at least I could say "I tried"
The fist I've made for years
Can't fight the fear of fear
And growing older and older
It always reappears and shuts me down more every year
Repeating over and over
I can't do what I need to
Before I run out of time
I won't say but I need you
To throw me a line 'cos I'm so far behind
And now my life has passed me by
Now my choices have burned me alive
If I'd changed it or rearranged it
Then at least I could say "I tried"
The fist I've made for years
Can't fight the fear of fear
And growing colder and colder
I can't do what I need to
Before I run out of time
I won't say but I need you
To throw me a line 'cos I'm so far behind
And now my life has passed me by
Now my choices have burned me alive
If I'd changed it or rearranged it
Then at least I could say "I tried"
I tried
I tried
Oh yeah I tried
