Tried and True

Not the type to show a sort of sympathy
In this life I'm feeling bittersweet
Biting my tongue after I grit my teeth
Theres lots of faults behind what you don't see

Trained actor with a smile sweet
I've done it all for you what have you done for me
Does it pay to pave my way in a vehicle of humility

From the tip of my tongue I'm tried and true
In through the lungs just right I called out for you

Flourishing are the seeds I sow
Through peaks and valleys they continue to grow
Weather they bloom its hard to tell
When seasons don't come like my gratification well I won't stick around

From the tip of my tongue I'm tried and true
In through the lungs just right I called out for you

Late nights
Under influence just to fake a smile
When living amongst the darkest times
I swear to give my heart
If you shine your light

From the tip of my tongue I'm tried and true
In through the lungs just right I called out for you
