The Turnback - Broken String Guitar Lyrics

When I was young I had my whole life figured out
I would be a star
I'd live in a big old fancy house, drive a fancy car
I knew where I was going, going far.

I could be like the king of rock and roll or the man in black
I could sound like the sounds I heard many years back
Whatever they seemed to have I seemed to lack

I tried with song,
I tried with heart.
I tried again at the end of every start.
If trying is winning,
I'm top of the chart.

And with time we come to realize exactly where we are
At the bottom of a glass in another empty bar
I hide all regrets behind a broken string guitar

I tried with song
I tried with heart
I tried again at the end of every start
If trying is winning
I'm top of the chart

I'm really good at making bad decisions
Always puts me into bad positions
Now my body's worn, my mind is shot
Feeding addiction's all that I got
Know what I am and what I'm not

I tried with song,
I tried with heart.
I tried again at the end of every start
If trying is winning
I'm top of the chart
