Maybe we were trying too hard
In time, I guess, we’ll see each other
Either eye to eye or floor to knee
And every time between the time to times
You never ever seem to find what you want
Only more and more of what you need
These are trying times
In the hardest sense
Of describing
In rhyming lines
The tired sighs
The up-for-hire lies
And the pain of these crying eyes
Without straying too far away
From the day I found my peace-of-mind
I can say with certainty
That you meant everything
That you ever said to me
Even as you said to me, Goodbye
Maybe we were trying too hard
Without straying too far
To find something we already had
These are trying times
In the hardest sense
Of describing
In rhyming lines
The tired sighs
The up-for-hire lies
And the pain of these crying eyes
