Carter Bennett - The Wrong High (He Tried) Lyrics

See him walking by
Doesn't know what he's doing
The time keeps ticking
He's slowing down
As he
Cries alone, hidden behind the closed door
Hoping they will see
He's yearning for some peace

Mind's scattered from the bottle
His heart beating to cocaine
This isn't life
He's chasing the wrong high
He's Looking out the window
Face pressed against the frame
The city shines
He asks "why can't I"

Those lights
So bright
He lied but made it out alive
And now he makes his mama cry
Those lights
So bright
The fights been lost, please no more games
Can't turn back now, his path's been paved
He tried

But who's on his side
He can't seem to stop losing
His mind keeps failing
Time to throw in the towel
As he
Lies alone, unable to fall asleep
Conversing with the almighty above
Praying "Lord Please Forgive Me"

Those lights
So bright
He lied but made it out alive
And now he makes his mama cry
Those lights
So bright
The fights been lost, please no more games
Can't turn back now, his path's been paved
He tried

Reality hit hard
His dreams too far
Away from him
He's watching passing cars
Glances up to the stars
They're mocking him

Those lights
So bright
He lied but made it out alive
And now he makes his mama cry
Those lights
So bright
The fights been lost, please no more games
Can't turn back now, his path's been paved
He tried

He tried
