I Tried

I tired to fit in
But you still pushed me away
I tired to see the way you do
But you still turned away
I tired to be the person you wanted me to be
But you still didn't except me.

I tired to act like you
But you said I'm doing it wrong
I tired to be in fashion
But you said its still boring
I tired to do so much
Just to hear a word of praise
But i guess trying isn't my place

I'm giving up
You should be glad
Just for the record
I'll tell you once

I Tried.
