I keep on trying
But I always fail
It keeps on changing
But it's the same old tale

I try to fight it
But it always wins
It leaves me wondering
What were my sins

What did I do
To deserve this strife
Why can't I
Simply lead a happy life

It keeps getting harder
To keep up this fight
And I'm finding
I don't have the might

I'm too tired
To repeat the past
Every time it's tougher
To simply last

To not give up
Before the start
To not give in
To my aching heart

It's insanity to try
When I know the result
After so many fails
It's only my fault

I know I can't fix this
And it won't go away
The best I can do
Keep it shortly at bay

I need someone's help
I can't fix it alone
I can't break this cycle
All on my own

But that's the problem
I'm doomed to repeat
I can't ask for help
When I expect deceit

If I can't trust
Those who say they care
Then how can I trust
They'll truly be there

So as long as I'm stuck
Without any support
The result will continue
Be the same report

I will try
And I will fail
It will end sooner or later
But be the same old tale.
