I Tried

I should let you know
That if you can't keep up
You'll be left dead like a joke
And that those lights
From the other side
They're not so bright
Mmm
Though I still feel young
My body's old
It's almost done
My heart of gold
Has been bought and sold
My story's told
Mmm
My name in lights
On a city marquee
Feels like a dream now
That I remember well
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights
I barely survived
And I lived
The way I wanted
Till I lost it
I thought I might
I've been all I'll be
Everyone has gone away
I've lost all company
I just think back, back to it
Oh, you should've seen me then
Mmm
I had a house
Down in Miami
Feels like a dream now
That I remember well
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights
I barely survived
And I lived
The way I wanted
Till I lost it
I thought I might
I tried
Until I got it
There were nights
I barely survived
And I lived
The way I wanted
And I lost it
