We Tried
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Dark Heart in 'We Tried' by Rosesleeves
Lyrics
I'm tired of holding on
I'm fatigued from persevering
There's nothing left we tried for so long
Our efforts have been in vain after an extended period
And look where we ended up
Reflecting on the outcome of our endeavors
Two bodies ditched in the mud
Both of us abandoned, metaphorically, like discarded bodies in mud
Trying not to sink
Struggling to avoid sinking, facing challenges
Need to get out of this cage
Feeling confined and desiring liberation
The monster's starving hasn't eaten in days
A metaphorical monster within, starving for a long time
Now I'm repulsed by your touch
Feeling repelled by the touch of the other person
I'm breaking I've had enough
Reaching a breaking point, having had enough
Trying not to think
Struggling not to dwell on certain thoughts
I'm tired of holding on
Reiteration of fatigue from holding on
There's nothing left we tried for so long
Reiterating the futility of our prolonged efforts
We tried for so long
Emphasizing the duration and intensity of the attempt
Yeah we don't work it's not that hard to see
Acknowledging that the relationship is not functioning
Cause you gave up while I tried everything
Pointing out the imbalance in effort, with one person giving up
Now I finally know what's lying underneath
Discovering the true nature beneath the surface
Just a black heart covered with ugly arteries
Describing a dark and unappealing heart with ugly attributes
Farther away you pushed me back
Expressing the increasing distance caused by the other person
And I tried to stay you couldn't handle it
Attempting to stay despite difficulties, but the other person couldn't handle it
You've always been this way I should've known by now
Realizing a consistent negative behavior in the other person
Don't know why I'm trying I think I might give in
Questioning the reason for continued effort and considering giving up
I'm so tired of holding on
Reiterating weariness from holding on
There's nothing left we tried for so long
Reemphasizing the futility of prolonged efforts
We tried for so long
Reaffirming the extensive duration and intensity of the attempt
We tried for so long
Repeating the acknowledgment of the long and dedicated effort
