Can’t Try Harder

Sometimes I feel like I'm prospecting for gold
I'm always searching for the mother lode
Each day I'm hoping for a little bit more
Hard to remember what I came here for

I'd give you diamonds and I'd give you pearls
If we were living in a different world
But you're just handing out some more of the same
A little anger and a little more pain

There must be something hidden
So deep inside of you

I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do

Caught in a place where there's no night and no day
I'm working hard to move the rocks in my way
Lost in the darkness and so far from home
Still I can't penetrate this heart of stone

There must be something hidden
So deep inside of you

I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do

To make the world seem right for you
Sometimes a vision comes to me at night
I see your treasure and it's shining so bright
Some things are precious beyond all belief
These things I've had but I could never keep

There must be something hidden
So deep inside of you

I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do
To make the world seem right for you
I can't try harder than I do
I can't try harder than I do
I can't try harder than I do
