The Harder I Try (Again)

The harder I try then the further you go The closest I get's when I leave you alone The only real thing keeping this afloat Is the distance between the two of our homes The harder I try with diminishing hope I'm reaching the end of a withering rope The only reason that I haven't let go Is the thought of starting over or being alone Don't leave when I refrain From your petulant games Don't mind making me wait For your attention again Don't leave when I refrain Don't mind making me wait The harder I try then the further you go The harder I try I just end up alone The harder I tried left diminishing hope The harder I tried was letting it go Don't leave when I refrain Don't mind making me wait
