What will it take to get you back on your feet?
You lost your will and now you're losing your sleep
My good intentions are all wasted on you
What good would trying do you?
Trying is all you can do
I do not know if this is anyone's fault
It's not my business to make sense of it all
I came her looking for a life, and you came here too...
What good would trying do you?
Trying is all you can do
(Chorus)
You sat there waiting all night but nobody came
No handsome savior coming in from the rain
No steady hand to help you calm yourself down
He's just the same as me, he's never around
I do not claim that I am always so strong
You've seen me falter and you've seen me undone
Don't add your spite to the load we're dragging uphill
Rough times won't rock our boat
But our meanness surely will
You lost your will and now you're losing your sleep
My good intentions are all wasted on you
What good would trying do you?
Trying is all you can do
I do not know if this is anyone's fault
It's not my business to make sense of it all
I came her looking for a life, and you came here too...
What good would trying do you?
Trying is all you can do
(Chorus)
You sat there waiting all night but nobody came
No handsome savior coming in from the rain
No steady hand to help you calm yourself down
He's just the same as me, he's never around
I do not claim that I am always so strong
You've seen me falter and you've seen me undone
Don't add your spite to the load we're dragging uphill
Rough times won't rock our boat
But our meanness surely will
