Tried to climb the mountains but they were too high
The air became askew and I wasn’t able to cry
Tried to bury my fears down there under the hill
But the ground became so cold I wasn’t able to feel
Tried to hide my pain way out in the desert
But I lost my way and so no longer hurt
Tried to drown my tears somewhere in the ocean
But my head became dizzy and I lacked the emotion
Tried to cover my fears underneath the moon
But they always remain open and I’m never immune
Tried to close the chapter and forget about you
I tried, but I love you too much to
