So this is it  The final curtain call  My time here is over  I wish it was for good  This is goodbye  The final wave of hand  I wish I had the nerve  To say that I'm never coming back  It was a fight  I cried myself to sleep  For so many nights, I can't believe   That I've grown to be a boy  With nothing to my name  Except a guitar and no one else to blame    But I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  I hope you know I never meant to hurt you  Never meant to make you cry  I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  But with you in my life,   I don't think I ever can.    The roadway is waiting  And I'm stuck debating  If I ever want to see you again  Cause I've grown numb  This city means nothing without the love we used to have  And this is goodbye  The final wave of hand  I wish I had the nerve  To say that I'm never coming back again  Yeah, again    But I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  I hope you know I never meant to hurt you  Never meant to make you cry  I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  But with you in my life,   I don't think I ever can,  I ever can.    [Guitar Solo]    Oh I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  I hope you know I never meant to hurt you  Never meant to make you cry  I hope you know I try  Hope you know I try, to become a better man  But with you in my life,   I don't think I ever can.
