I tried to light up a candle for you,
but I burned you, all blackened and charred.
I tried to quench your thirst,
but I drowned you with an ocean of tears.
I tried to love you,
but all I gave you was heartaches and goodbyes.
I tried,
I tried so hard,
But I just can't.

I Wish I Could
I tried to light up a candle for you,
but I burned you, all blackened and charred.
I tried to quench your thirst,
but I drowned you with an ocean of tears.
I tried to love you,
but all I gave you was heartaches and goodbyes.
I tried,
I tried so hard,
But I just can't.
