And you know I tried
You know I tried to talk
But no matter how I try
I always fall
My voice won't bend
My voice won't bend through the wall
Yeah you know I tried
You know I tried my all
There will never be enough
Of cigarette butts on the street
Summer smoke up in the air
And rocks and mud across your feet
I remember times were tardy
With my eyes set on the clock
'Stead of eyes that softly pry
Upon the rest that do not watch
There's no problem being a bench
Or even a stool if there's no decence
I'm always scared to ask
So I just make up all your reasons
But I wish you knew the things I thought about
When out of sight
Guess I got used to the routine of
My wrongs when times were right
