A Life of Nice Tries

Mother tried to raise me right
And I never meant to fall from dreams
So don't promise the world to me
Just let me lay here

'Cause I'm not exactly proud of the man I am
Just a little scared of falling down

Say that you'll love me
For the first time, for the first time
It's pulling me under
For the last time, for the last time now

Spiralling down, up until now
It's been a lifetime of nice tries
So don't promise the world to me
Just let me lay here

'Cause I'm not exactly proud of the man I am
I'm just a little scared of falling down
Not exactly proud of the man I am
I'm just a little scared of falling down

So say that you'll love me
For the first time, for the first time
It's pulling me under
For the last time, for the last time
I will be free again on my own
For the last time, for the last time

Show me something so beautiful that it hurts
Show me a love without an ending
And send it to all that I know

I'm not exactly proud of the man I am
I'm just a little scared of falling down

So say that you'll love me
For the first time, for the first time
It's pulling me under
For the last time, for the last time now

Say that you'll love me
For the first time, for the first time
And I will be free again on my own
For the last time, for the last time (ohh..)
For the first time, for the first time (ohh..)
For the last time, for the last time now
