Ungrateful

another day, a girl needs saved
that girl is you, i can hear your cries
you’re tied to the tracks, i’m turning my back
so i don’t see that train and you collide

and you know i tried
but it wasn’t good enough
so i’ve decided to give it up

Chorus:
you’re ungrateful, blind as can be
you’re too caught up in you to see what’s in front of you
you’re so hateful toward all my kind
want nothing to do with me until you scream for help
well this time, save yourself

you dry your eyes, you pass the time
searching your mind for the solution
it’s obvious, so you pass it up, nowhere to go, keep the status quo
salt in your wounds, tears in your room, and you know why

and you know i tried
but it wasn’t good enough
so i’ve decided to give it up

chorus

and i see you, there, you’re in the air
you’re flying high, you own the sky
or do you? well, you’d like to
but your airplane’s covered in flames
and you’re falling, you’re falling
so fast, so far, you’ll crash so hard
unless you bail before it happens
but you’ll probably stay fastened

and i tried, and i tried
and i tried, and i tried
