There's something on this page I can't erase
To say I've tried too many times
I cannot overstate how many different ways
I've tried to tear it out, I've tried to start again
But slowly I know only I'm to blame
I relive time like I'm in yesterday
But it seems there is no spare room, the words won't dare fit
The plot it just gets thinner
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
There's a look upon your face I can't shake
I've seen you smile too many times
Floating further into space I cannot look away
Tried to turn I only see your face again
Quickly you fall swiftly in the gaze
Of your new found love while I begin to fade
Now I'm standing on a new stage and I haven't learnt the bit
Spotlight getting dimmer
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
I'll admit it's feeling strange
That we believe a friendship may still remain
An optimistic fool
Wading in the deep end of an endless pool of doubts.
Just swimming, swimming under clouds
Well there's something in how light creates the shade
How fast the dark adapts our sight
A call from you today in such a sorry state
It's hard to hear you're heart broke apart again
Being lonely shows you know a better place
One to leave makes space for one to gain
So let's say there's more to us than words no longer dimly lit
And build upon a glimmer
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
You're the ink unto my paper
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
You're the ink unto my paper
