The Try

<br>Everybody`s hopes had died when you were crawling on the floor.<br>No one could keep hope alive when all they saw were wounds and woes.<br>They remember when it went south, one instance when you`re down--<br>dust had settled, you moved out of town.<br>You surrendered, then you found out...<br><br>It`s a crap out, a dead man`s hand, a blink in a stare;<br>It`s lights out, an unmade plan, some bees in your hair.<br><br>Do we get no points for the try?<br><br>They will all testify that everything falls around you.<br>&quot;Another good guy lost,&quot; is how they would describe you.<br>“Too bad what could have been...”<br>You tuned out and got up again.<br>Pretended not to care. Remembered not to care.<br><br>I heard what they sold you; don`t let it hold you.<br>You can have what you want now.<br>You need to want what you have.<br><br>We need no points for the try.
