On the hunt to feed all my little pains
Broke a branch and scared away the game
Still tracking this big buck through the rain
I tried, but I cried to laugh

Well, I can't tell when I'm being tricked
So paint it looking like the odds are being fixed
Oh, to be the prime suspect in all of this
I try, but I cry to laugh

I tried believing that I could be your leading man
You just want to do as you always have done, but you can't

Did I ever really need your help?
To tell me something I already know about myself?
Or was this a joke that only time could tell?
I cry whenever I try to laugh

I tried believing that I could be your leading man
You just want to do as you always have done, but you can't

You woke me up just as my dreams begun
I don't believe that I'm the only one
Who's ever seen it so beautifully undone
Who tries, but he cries to laugh
Still trying, but he cries to laugh
Oh, I try, but I cry to laugh
