If I cry, if a little comes showin' on my cheek, And if I sigh, if I look bored then pray that I speak, Cos I've had a belly full of you, on my own I can make it through, And if I die, if I do die tryin' nobody's blaming you.
(Chorus) Heavy, music is turning in my head My minds burning from the thing you said, All your cheatin' and all your lyin' On my grave I'll have written "Died Tryin"
If I lie, if I hide from the truth, I tell you its my affair, And ask me why if you've got the nerve, cos I've heard you tell your share, Cos you with your apathy, don't touch me with your disease, If I die, if I do die tryin' let me choose my own way please.
(Chorus)
(Solo)
You can say, that you're sorry and tell me you understand, Well you with gilded diplomas and your head of ideas so grand, But you ain't been within, a million miles of everything I'm tryin' to say, And I would die, I would die tryin' than living my whole life your way
