Once I Tried

  • by Barbie
    Once I tried to do it right
    Once I tried to see the light
    I saw that people did care for me,
    It was me that was trying to flee.

    Once I tried to do it right
    Everything came to me in the night.
    I can't just stop it all
    just to stop and see you fall.

    Once I tried to do it right,
    I just realized the sight
    how everyone else see's me,
    and what I deny to everyone.

    Once I tried to do it right,
    Everything changed.

    Once I tried to do it right
    I thought I had it down
    I bought the purse, the shawl, the shoes,
    a lovely purple gown

    I piled my hair high on my head
    and put on fancy pearls
    Oh boy, I thought, I've got it right;
    I'll show those other girls!

    I couldn't wait to get there
    so everyone could see
    this lovely vision in chiffon,
    the new and stylish me.

    I walked into the room that night
    Oh, how appalled to see
    that everyone was wearing black
    except, of course, for me!

    I heard them whisper, "Pearls are past
    and hair is cropped these days
    And purple? What is that about?
    It's such a passe craze"

    Oh Lord, I'll never get it right
    I'm such a fashion clown.
    Perhaps I should wear just a smile
    next time I paint the town!

    Once I tried to do it right
    But she made me feel so wrong
    Once I tried to heal her heart
    But she only wanted more pain
    Once I beleaved she loved me
    Yet I also knew she was slowly killing me
    Once I tried to keep her from dying
    But that only kept me from living

  • by marie
    Once I tried to do it right
    Onced tried I died
    Once I tried I lied
    Once I tried I Tied
    Once I tried I never lied
    Once I tried I never flyed
    Once I tried it was the wrong kind
    But I never could make up my mind.
    Since I lied
    Since I died

    Once I tried to do it right
    not to say that I did not try to do right before
    but Once I tried to do right
    more so then I did evermore

    and in my so trying to do of right
    I over looked the wrong that had been done before

    and so in my trying so hard to do right
    I overlooked
    and wrought my score

  • by Sarah
    Once I tried to do it right
    For once, I thought I'd win the fight
    But now I can't find what I used to be
    And it scares me

    Because once I tried to do it right
    Once, I thought I'd loath the night
    Once I bit your lovely skin
    And once, I created a brand new friend

    Once I tried to do it right
    And lost in battles with my own might
    Once I lost you in the sea
    Of my own tranquility

    Once I thought I'd do it right
    And now I'm to blame for your fight
    The fight that cause your bloody death
    And now, I'm silent for memories left

  • by maria teresa
    Once I tried to do it right
    to end the causes of a fight
    but all that i had were blows of fury
    my vision got blurry
    my mind soon began to shot down and my knees grew weak
    in the deep pit of my belly, i felt sick
    in the middle of torment, they gave it to me,
    each hit to my back,chest,face,and belly.
    They didn't stop, no, they didn't want it to end,
    they just wanted to hurt their no good friend.
    they wanted payback, they wanted it all,
    i saw the look in there eyes, it was all that i could recall.
    just once, i tried to stop the anger, and the pains.
    But i couldn't do it, for it was like stopping the rain.
    once i tried to do it right,
    now i regret it for it got me to be in the middle of a fight.

    Once I tried to do it right
    once i tried to tell you who i was
    i guess you didn't listen
    or you would have known
    i've told you before
    i don't really want to tell you again
    i'm like a box
    too many sides to tell
    who i really am
    you'll never know
    what i don't want you to know
    there's to many sides to me
    i don't even know who i am

  • by Samantha
    Once I tried to do it right
    I tried and tried with all my might.
    But try as I did, I couldn't succeed,
    Now it's with you that I dearly plead.
    I swear to you I don't know how,
    Well, that is until I got here now.
    It's all a jumble when I see it all,
    But try as I might, I did fall.
    Now what I ask of you is another pass,
    I'll bring my homework to the next class.

  • by swendy
    Once I tried to do it right
    but all it did was set me back
    i tried to make my world all fine but then i couldnt find that shine
    it seems as if the more you give the less you get back
    the world has change from bad to worse and i dont know if i an take this curse. the promises thats broken the wordsthat never seem to be spoke, the cries i hear late at night, the bears i try to hold close and tight, the screams seem to get even louder and the more i tell the more thats shatered, the tears i shed all seem to be there even when i wipe them dry, the more i tell the less they listen so all of my tells are only cries for help

  • by monique B
    Once I tried to do it right
    once i tried to make things right
    right for the both of us
    right for me
    in all my greed i looked into ur eyes and knew u needed this more then me
    we once were blissful and now we're not
    hatered took that happy spot
    u ended it for the both of us
    rediscovered our beginning and now i ask u this was it worth all the hurt???

  • by Evelina
    Once I tried to do it right
    but I always got my self in a fight..
    what ever I did it was just not fair..
    ´coz it was always you and him that got to share
    share a life of freedom
    share a life of pleasure
    who am I to tell the trouth?
    who are u to tell a lie?
    I just hate You and I hate what you stand for..
    but i guess it´s just the fate
    that I am you and you are I
    until the day I die

  • by sue q
    Once I tried to do it right
    Then I lost the will to fight

    Once I tried to live the way
    I thought my life should be each day

    Then I found I lost the plot
    Always wanting what I hadn't got

    The grass was greener on the other side
    But the chasm to cross seemed so so wide

    Was this constant striving never to stop
    Would I ever reach the top

    And then one day I tried to breathe
    And found I didn't want to leave

    I looked at where I was that day
    And found a place my soul could stay

    That grass will keep on glowing still
    But I dont need to reach it - I never will

    I may not have done it the way I should
    But I know I did the best I could

    The way we are is good enough
    So when you look at yourself - look with love.




  • by Jake Schmidt
    Once I tried to do it right
    once i tried to find my light
    dark and black i could not see
    stopping this provoking thought spree

    once i tried to live alone
    staying in my own zone
    no laughing just crying
    no living just dying

    Once i tried to love someone
    this i found and shes the one
    She makes life what it is to me
    something inside tells me we are meant to be

    Once I tried to do it right
    once i tried to see the light
    i saw that people did'nt care for me,
    it was me that was trying to flee.

    once i tried to do it right
    everything came to me in the night.
    i can't stop it all
    just to stop and see you fall.

    once i tried to do it right,
    i just realized the sight
    how everyone else see's me,
    and what i deny to everyone.

    once i tried to do it right,
    everything changed.

  • by Samantha And Liz
    Once I tried to do it right
    You tell me what to do
    You tell me what to say
    you tell me how to act
    Every single day.

    I do what you want me to do
    I say what you want me to say
    I act how you want me to act
    You say it's wrong in every way.

    I did what you wanted
    But you say it's wrong
    You once said you loved me
    Every night and day
    But those were the words of your old song.

    Would it help if I say down and died
    Don't you see the tears in my eyes
    You said you'd love me till the day I died
    But I guess that was all a simple lie.

    My pain is growing stronger every single day
    Your love for me is fading,fading fading away
    What should I do to end this pain?

    Well, there's a knife in the cupboard
    A gun in the safe
    Some rope in the garage
    Some pills reaching for my embrace.

    A day or two has passed and there was no sound
    Her parents barged right into her room
    Looked to the ground
    All hate was forgotten
    Love was now found

    It was to late for her
    Way to late for them

  • by unknown
    Once I tried to do it right
    Sometimes I even believed it
    Peering into pools of my own
    Id catch glimpses of memories
    Alas they never brought me
    A rush of relief blows my eyelids shut
    Slowly I fade away from myself
    On memories of purity
    When I didn’t have to bleed to feel warm
    When it came simply on your breath
    Who ever knew that loving you could kill me


  • by SaraStorm
    Once I tried to do it right
    To do what I thought best.
    Jumping over every barrel,
    I accepted their test.

    When they saw I could succeed,
    they were shocked by my attempt.
    Never again would they ignore me.
    I look at them all with contempt.

    I'm reaching my goal now,
    Faster than you ever knew.
    And you were so damn surprised,
    when I said, "I have faith in you."

    So now you see I choose my fate.
    More than you, I had a stronger drive.
    When you make it here you'll see what it's like,
    To be truely, truely...alive

  • by Michelle Carroll
    Once I tried to do it right
    But it still just fell apart,
    then i tried to do it wrong,
    but then my love was lost,
    everytime i said it or even tried to think it,
    my whole world would fall apart,
    to a place you might not think of,
    so i say goodbye and so long,
    i cant take this anymore,
    for if i tried one more time,
    i would just fall right on the floor.

  • by Alex

    even my head spend vast amount of money on durgs

  • by Lindsey Williams
    Once I tried to do it right
    To cut deep enough to end it all
    That once but I didn't finish the job. I didn't do it right, but why am I so cold? I see the red torrents rushing to the floor. I didn't do it right so why am i so blue? What if I did it right and never knew? What if I am now stuck in this foggy purple hue? Does this mean I finished the work I started long ago? Will i ever know? I will not know now, for now I lie in a red pool, my white skin faded into blue. Darkness covering all that I tried so hard to create.

  • by Cyn
    Once I tried to do it right
    I held you softly
    I brush your face
    I was a tender lover,
    Yet you spat in my face

    Once I tried to love you right
    I took all your blows
    I embraces all your hate
    I was your punching bag,
    Yet you never understood why?

    Once I tried to understand you
    I talked to you for hours
    Taking all your insults
    I told you my secrets,
    Yet I knew you thought me mad!

    Once I tried to break your fort around your heart
    I kissed every wounded you gave me
    Like a mark of your love making
    I counted all the brusies you adorn me with
    As if they were the roses from a lover
    I loved you,
    Yet you found me foul

    Once I tried to be with you....

    Once I tried to do it right...
    But I realized the only right way
    Is Hating you...
    I love you, dear
    I've stopped doing it right
    And now I bless you with the pain
    I am the tyrant of your heart now,
    Yet now "YOU" scream at my touch


  • by Felicia
    Once I tried to do it right
    Once i tried but it ended up into a fight,
    Once i got through it,
    Once it was done and over with,
    It was all worth it,
    Now im not pissed,
    And now i dont have to deal with the shame,
    And especially all the blame,
    It all over for me,
    The life of thee,
    Its a good thing,
    We all know that,
    We just sit back nd relax,
    All she wanted was for eveyone to be happy,
    So they gave her her last wishes,
    For there to be a party,
    A happy one,
    She thought funeral's were suppose to be a good thing,
    Yes they're sad,
    But she meant that now those people are in a better place,
    That place which she has no joined them

    Once I tried to do it right
    But you wanted to fuck off and have your own life,
    Even despite,
    You always kept it tight,
    And I thank you for that my aqiantence of delight,
    All that came to mind,
    Was to make this a fight,
    I have no other way to deffend myself there is no side of light,
    To leave these stupid people in life,
    I'll take this flight,
    And I might,
    Just might,
    Be loved as I strive.

  • by Andy
    Once I tried to do it right
    Once I thought I just might
    Earn alittle forgiveness
    For all the chances I missed
    But my mind is spinning out of control
    Walking without a soul
    I'm stuck in gray
    Cause I could never find a way
    To put aside this fear
    And risk leaving here
    It's the emptiness I know
    Replacing all the emotions I could never show
    But once I tried
    To remember all the tears I should have cried

  • by Stephanie
    Once I tried to do it right
    i will fight each night
    i won't give up
    i'm bright
    with all my might i'll make it perfect
    perfect to be
    i'm me
    im the key to the answer
    what ever it is ill do it right

  • by assolyn
    Once I tried to do it right
    once i tried but lost the fight
    once i tried to live my life
    but every one told my it wasnt right
    once i tried to run away
    but they caught me and made me stay
    once i tried to just give up on life
    but they took away the knife

  • by Slave
    Once I tried to do it right
    I steped out of the night
    I had no more to fear
    for your love was dear
    yet i found out soon
    in your dieing tune
    you never realy loved me
    you always beleived you where above me
    know i see the light
    ever so bright
    and i step back into the night
    Know i know it was never right

  • by Slave
    Once I tried to do it right
    I tryed to stay away from the night
    Once i tried
    But i couldn't help as i tied
    The rope around your neck
    Your life i will wreck
    I will leave blood on the floor
    your body hanging at the door
    You will burn in hell
    and no one i will tell
    That it was me
    That left you hanging for all to see how cruel life can be
