The 8th track on COIN’s self-titled debut album. This song is about looking back on a relationship and regretting that it turned out bad, but trying to console yourself by saying “At least I tried.”
[Verse 1]
Stumble on my words
A feeling I'd forgotten
Sleep until it hurts
And tell me if you're honest
[Chorus]
I know you don't have a reason to
Speak up and that's alright
I'd share my coat if you're freezing
But if not, at least I tried
[Verse 2]
Gardens in the snow
An overgrown disaster
Learn the saxophone
I'm scared you're moving backwards
[Chorus]
I know you don't have a reason to
Speak up and that's alright
I'd share my coat if you're freezing
But if not, at least I tried
[Post-Chorus]
I know you hear me, I'm speaking
Can you hear me now?
I know you hear me, I'm screaming
Can you hear me now?
[Bridge]
It rests upon my chest
I did my very best
Didn't I?
Didn't I?
Didn't I (do alright)?
[Chorus]
I know you don't have a reason to
Speak up and that's alright
I'd share my coat if you're freezing
But if not, at least I tried
[Outro]
I know you hear me, I'm speaking
Can you hear me now?
I know you hear me, I'm screaming
Can you hear me now?
