these tears are drops of failed attempts
of trying to be the best i can be for you
but my best doesn't fit your standards;
being good enough was something i could never do

so many times i've tried telling myself
that laughing at life is all that matters
but lately the dreams i have of feeling wanted
never seem anything but shattered

i know you hear me but do you really listen?
are you getting the message i'm trying to convey?
i'm trying to make things easier for you
but self-esteem is so close, yet so far away

if you look inside my eyes and within my heart
you'll know the truth: i'm trying
soon this pain will end; it's just so hard
when i feel like your love for me is dying...
