Tried picking up pieces
Of a long lost photograph
Tried washing my hands clean
Of the tarnish in the past
Tried to light a candle
Let it burn all through the night
Tried to light my way there
Away from this endless night
Lot of good that did me
A whole lot of good
Lot of good that did me
A whole lot of good
Tried waking up early
and I tried to sleep all day
After all I tried so hard
I just can't push it away
Lot of good that did me
A whole lot of good
Lot of good that did me
A whole lot of good
I need hope, I need faith
I need love, I need you
Tried just to ignore it
Put the storm outside my head
Tried running from it
but it followed me instead
Tried waking up early
And I tried to sleep all day
After all I tried so hard
I just can't push it away
I need hope, I need faith
I need love, I need you
I need you, I need you
