The Wrong High (He Tried)

See him walking by Doesn't know what he's doing The time keeps ticking He's slowing down As he Cries alone, hidden behind the closed door Hoping they will see He's yearning for some peace Mind's scattered from the bottle His heart beating to cocaine This isn't life He's chasing the wrong high He's Looking out the window Face pressed against the frame The city shines He asks "why can't I" Those lights So bright He lied but made it out alive And now he makes his mama cry Those lights So bright The fights been lost, please no more games Can't turn back now, his path's been paved He tried But who's on his side He can't seem to stop losing His mind keeps failing Time to throw in the towel As he Lies alone, unable to fall asleep Conversing with the almighty above Praying "Lord Please Forgive Me" Those lights So bright He lied but made it out alive And now he makes his mama cry Those lights So bright The fights been lost, please no more games Can't turn back now, his path's been paved He tried Reality hit hard His dreams too far Away from him He's watching passing cars Glances up to the stars They're mocking him Those lights So bright He lied but made it out alive And now he makes his mama cry Those lights So bright The fights been lost, please no more games Can't turn back now, his path's been paved He tried He tried
