The rope 'round my neck, the streak in my hair

The spring in my step from the socks that I wear

And when I play this song it's like I'm still there

And you don't know what it means to me

'Cause I try my best to be the best that I can

I want so much to be everybody's friend

Well if it's supposed to hurt, it hasn't done yet

The best of the few that haven't been met

And the simplest thing will remind me of that

That soft spoken night I never forget, sing

I try my best to be the best that I can

I want so much to be everybody's friend, oh yeah

I try my best to be the best that I can

I try so hard to be everybody's friend

And I try, yes I try

I want so much to be

It's in my heart to be

I try so hard to be

It's in my heart

I try my best

I try my best

And no, I don't sleep

I never rest

My aching heart is emptiest when I'm alone

The way that I think, it seldom makes sense

The words don't come out the way they were meant

So if I'm quiet please don't take offence

'Cause you don't know what it means to me

No, you don't know what it means to me

No, you don't know what it means to me

No

No

No

No
