No matter how hard we try

Where is the man
Who made her want to hold his hand
She'd never even heard the band
But she knew she liked the song
He disappeared into some other kind of guy
Drove himself so deep inside
Couldn't tell her what was wrong

If she had wings
She would have flown him to heaven
Offered his heart to the sky
Sometimes we can't find a way to make it better
No matter how hard we try

She was an angel lying on the bathroom floor
She couldn't take it anymore
It was just too hard to breathe
He was a fallen hero banging on the door
Yeah, he hit it til his fists were sore
Couldn't bring himself to leave

If he had wings
He would have flown her to heaven
Offered her heart to the sky
Sometimes we can't find a way to make it better
No matter how hard
No matter how hard we try

We hold on tight
We fight, we fight
We lose the light sometimes
We have to give all of ourselves
We give, we give until we slip from sight

If they had wings they would have flown on up together
Offered their hearts to the sky
Sometimes we can't find a way to make it better
No matter how hard
No matter how hard
No matter how hard we try
