Sevendust The Day I Tried To Live
[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said, "Seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade and watch the rollin' heads."
[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose]
Singin', "One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)
One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)"
The day I tried to live, yeah
[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon]
Words you say
Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere, but dead
[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon]
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs, oh
[Post-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose]
Singin', "One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)
One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)"
The day I tried to live, yeah
[Interlude: Lajon Witherspoon]
I've tried
[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon]
I woke the same as any other day
You know I shoulda stayed in bed, yeah
Ooh-woah-ooh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus 3: Lajon Witherspoon]
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar (One more time around)
I learned that I was a liar (One more time around)
I learned that I was a liar (One more time around)
I learned that I was a liar (One more time around)
[Post-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose]
Singin', "One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)
One more time around (Might do it)
One more time around (Might make it)"
The day I tried to live, yeah
[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon]
Just like you
Just like you
One more time around
One more time around
