You Can't Say I Haven't Tried, But I Can Say "I Told You So."

what a beautiful thing, life

but you don't know how to survive

i've offered you my hand so many goddamn times

what a beautiful thing, human beings

well, some of them just need a beating

not too hard, or you'll leave your mark

but isn't that what we're trying to do in this world

isn't that what we're trying to do every day?

isn't this what i've said so many times before

you decided to leave your mark on me?

the feeling makes you sick

can you go through with it?

you don't have to stand up for anything

because you have nothing to support your bare feet

once you come down from your high horse

you're in for something that can't be ignored

what a beautiful thing, your face in the mud

and you think that's enough

i was up to my shoulders in it!

now look where we are

you see, my battles have brought me scars

and you don't know how to tolerate the pain

the feeling makes you sick

can you go through with it?

you don't have to stand up for anything

because you have nothing to support your bare feet

once you come down from your high horse

you're in for something that can't be ignored

your ankles will give into the pressure

and your knees will hit the ground

don't say "please stay" because you're not feeling proud

and speaking of, funny how you realized it too late

that we're the ones looking down at your face

what a beautiful thing, you're one of us

but you won't live this down, no!

the feeling makes you sick

do you think you'll go through with it?

we are the ones pounding our fists

breaking down the walls, because we're sick of all this shit

you don't have to stand up for anything

because you have nothing to support your bare feet

once you come down from your high horse

you're in for something that can't be ignored

you don't see because your eyes are closed

not a scratch, tear, or stain on your clothes

with open eyes, we stand so tall

with all my friends, we've built up this wall
