(i keep) tripping on sadness.
written by william donaldson.


i'm not so sure of this now
there's nobody here with me now
i really just want to leave now
but i'm too weak to even try to move

sometimes i really wish that you could be
here for me so that i could be
more than they know that i could be
but things are turning against me

i have tried to run, i have tried to hide
but in the end it all comes back
gonna try to win, trying not to lose
but in the end it's not worth it
feeling down today, down tomorrow too
trying to get up off the ground
i have tried to run, i have tried to hide
so many times

there's nobody here now
i don't want to be alone now
things are getting way too hard now
and nobody will share my pain

sometimes i wish that i can be
more than i know i can be
but it's impossible for me
i've been pushed down too many times

i have tried to run, i have tried to hide
but in the end it all unwinds
gonna try to win, trying not to lose
but in the end i keep tripping on sadness
feeling down today, down tomorrow too
depression will never be worth it
i have tried to run, i have tried to hide
so many times

and now you see that i would be
so much better if you could see
that in the end it came back to me
and that is all that i will be
