Chris Cornell - The Day I Tried to Live lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 rolling heads [Chorus 1] The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggar's change And gave it to the rich The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch [Post-Chorus] Singing, 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 I might make it The day I tried to live, yeah [Verse 2] 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] The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs [Post-Chorus] Singing, 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 I might make it The day I tried to live, yeah I tried [Verse 3] I woke the same as any other day You know why I should have stayed in bed [Chorus 3] 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] Singing, 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 I might make it The day I tried to live, yeah [Outro] Just like you Just like you One more time around One more time around
