Horrorshow - Reuben

The rope round my neck

The streak in my hair

The spring in my step

From the socks that I wear

And when I play this song

It’s like I’m still there

And you don’t know what it means to me

Cos I try my best to be the best that I can

I want so much to be everybody’s friend

Well if it’s supposed to hurt

It hasn’t done yet

The best of the few

That haven’t been met

And the simplest thing could remind me of that

That soft-spoken lie

I’ll never forget

Sing!

I try my best to be the best that I can

I want so much to be everybody’s friend

Oh yeah, I try my best to be the best that I can

I try so hard to be everybody’s friend

And I try

Yes I try

I want so much to be

It’s in my heart to be

I try so hard to be

It’s in my heart

I try my best

I try my best

And no, I don’t sleep

I never rest

My aching heart

Is emptiest

When I’m alone

The way that I think

It seldom makes sense

The words don’t come out

The way they were meant

So if I’m quiet

Please don’t take offence

Cause you don’t know what it means to me

No, you don’t know what it means to me

No…
