The Injured List - A for Almost

I swear I tried
Can I get an A for effort, or at least for almost
I did my best I came up short but I went down swinging
And I got back up with my ears still ringing
Is that enough
Is that enough for you
I can't seem to say I'm sorry enough ways to satisfy you
I can't look you in the eyes without
Fighting back the tears I refused to cry
Every time you said I was damaged, and I knew you were right
You were right.
I broke you out
You slowed me down and you asked me to leave you
But I stuck around
Kept your head above water
Brought you every meal
And when you could stand you said you couldn't deal
With all of my bullshit, that you couldn't be
Everything I was for you
For me
You wouldn't ever be able to do that for me
What did you ever do for me
Well, did you ever earn my sympathy
You used to say you wish you'd just die
Sometimes I wished I'd said
So do I
So do I
I swear I tried
