Verse 1

I've searched for the answers
Been down every road
Have reached for the keys
Made it all about me
And spun out of control

Verse 2

Thought I took the right turns
Somehow I was wrong
Turns out that the Jesus
I needed was walking
With me all along

Chorus

Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it alright
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells
That would always run dry

Post Chorus

Bending and breaking
And chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways
Til I laid down my pride
Oh it's like You knew
I couldn't save my own life
Heaven knows I tried

Verse 3

Tried trusting my feelings
Cause they said I'm okay
Oh but I should've listened
When You told me livin'
Without You I won't find my way

Chorus

Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it alright
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells
That would always run dry

Post Chorus

Bending and breaking
And chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways
Til I laid down my pride
Oh it's like You knew
I couldn't save my own life

Bridge

Heaven knows I tried
Played all my cards
But going for broke
Didn't get me real far
There's nothing worth
Finding outside of Your heart

Chorus

Heaven knows I tried
You said Your way's better
I'm glad You were right
Yeah Heaven knows I tried

Post Chorus

I'm bending and breaking
And chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways
Til I laid down my pride
Oh it's like You knew
I couldn't save my own life
Heaven knows I tried
