Joey Degraw - Tragedy lyrics

An experimental phase That you couldn't get away from Your open minded ways did you in Your shepherd's broken staff Should have been your warning But you were moving way too fast to notice it This is a tragedy This is loneliness Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself? Do you still believe You will find a way To make your life mean something and stay? Were you afraid that you Would not have a story? Were you afraid that you would have no pain? This is your private war Where you get all the glory If you beat the odds to wake and rise again This is a tragedy This is loneliness Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself? Do you still believe You will find a way To make your life mean something and stay? I'm sure that you know this Meanwhile, I wish you would say 'On and on I'm holding on to that Which has betrayed' This is a tragedy This is loneliness Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself? Do you still believe You will find a way To make your life mean something and stay? An experimental phase That you couldn't get away from Your open minded ways did you in
