Lyrics Horror Show - Reuben

The rope round my neck, the streak in my hair
The spring in my step from the socks that I wear
And when I play this song, it's like I'm still there
And you don't know what it means to me

'Cause I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend

Well, if it's supposed to hurt, it hasn't done yet
The best of the few that I've ever met
And the simplest thing will remind me of that
That soft-spoken night I never forget

Sing!
"I try my best to be the best that I can
I want so much to be everybody's friend"
Oh yeah, I try my best to be the best that I can
I try so hard to be everybody's friend

And I try
Yes, I try

I want so much to be
It's in my heart to be
I try so hard to be
It's in my heart
I try my best
I try my best
Now I don't sleep
I never rest

My aching heart is emptiest
When I'm alone

The way that I think, it seldom makes sense
The words don't come out the way they were meant
So if I'm quiet, please don't take offence
'Cause you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me
No, you don't know what it means to me

No
No
No
No
