[Verse 1]
One minute to best with no second test
These little storms destroy you
Here is the fame they promised to give you
Taking the place of my hand now
[Chorus]
Well, did you try to be true?
What separates me from you now?
What separates me from you?
[Verse 2]
Now did you borrow the soul
The soul that you sell now?
What does your conscience tell you?
Where are the demons of your desires?
Why does my love destroy you?
[Chorus]
I said I tried to be true
What separates me from you now?
(What separates me from you now?)
I said I tried, tried to be true
What separates me from you now?
(What separates me from you now?)
What separates me from you?
(What separates me from you now?)
Oh, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Tell me where is the fame?
Where is the fortune?
Where is the world that denies you?
Who is to blame
When my heart finally forfeits
To a road that will only misguide you?
[Chorus]
I said I tried to be true
What separates me from you now?
(What separates me from you now?)
I said I tried, tried to be true
(What separates me from you now?)
(What separates me from you now?)
What separates me from you now
(What separates me from you now)?
What separates me from you
(What separates me from you now?)
Ah ah ah
[Outro]
Bought my love a hunger
More precious than a stone
(Where is the world that denies you?)
All those fatal flowers
(Where is the world that denies you?)
Did I misguide you?
Thank you
Thanks y'all
