heaven knows i tried

[Verse 1]
I've searched for the answers
Been down every road
I've reached for the keys, made it all about me
Then spun out of control

[Verse 2]
Thought I took the right turns
Somehow I was wrong
Turns out that the Jesus I needed
Was walking with me all along

[Chorus 1]
Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it all right
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells that would always run dry
Bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways 'til I laid down my pride
Oh, it's like You knew I couldn’t save my own life
Heaven knows I tried

[Verse 2]
Tried trusting my feelings
'Cause they said I'm okay
Oh, but I should've listened when You told me living
Without You, I won't find my way

[Chorus 2]
And Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it all right
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells that would always run dry
I'm bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
Stuck in my ways 'til I laid down my pride
Oh, it's like You knew I couldn't save my own life

[Bridge]
Heaven knows I tried, played all my cards
But going for broke didn't get me real far
There's nothing worth finding outside of Your heart

[Chorus 3]
Heaven knows I tried
You said Your way's better, I'm glad You were right
Yeah, Heaven knows I tried
Oh, yeah
I'm bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways 'til I laid down my pride
Oh, it's like You knew I couldn’t save my own life
Heaven knows I tried
