I Tried

[Verse 1]
Rats they run across the field
Crows rest in the tree
Barking madly at each other
Standing from the rooftop I screamed
Won't you bark for me?
As you turn your back and fly away

[Chorus]
Caught on the fence you left behind
Darted to an empty room I've tried
Oh I've tried, oh I've tried
With nothing in return

[Verse 2]
When the wind that freed me
From the roots that tied me down
Now I need them back for comforting
Carvings that we left in branches
Scarred up on this tree
Lingering our thoughts you left with me

[Chorus]
Calling the phone that you ignore
Slowly walking backwards from your door
Oh I've tried, now we're done fighting
It's time that you return

[Verse 3]
Candle its small light inside your
Window that I see
Hoping that the light still shines for me
Standing on the curbside I screamed
Please come back
As you turn your back and fly away

[Chorus]
Groundhogs digging with their claws
Burying their loves with dirty paws
Oh I've tried, there's no denying
My head is in the dirt
