[Verse 1]

Had to shield my eyes

From the glare

And I still couldn't stand the light

It slipped through my hands

Had to armor myself

'Cause I couldn't bear

To feel the darkness seeping into me

From out there

[Chorus]

I've been trying all these days

Yeah I've been trying every possible way

Hey I've been trying to get it right all my days

And I'm closer now than I was before

But I'm still so far away

[Verse 2]

Oh my ears can hear

Everything I wanna hear

But I know I won't listen

I'm in the same place I've been in

Year after year

And I know in my mind

That I want more

But I know I won't choose it

So I keep turning around in this revolving door

[Chorus]

I've been trying all these days

Yeah I've been trying every possible way

Hey I've been trying to get it right all my days

And I'm closer now than I was before

But I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away

I'm still so far away
