Lyrics:
In a room that you call your own     
Every day like the one before
What you left it was never home     
And the people now are gone

All your life in a twelve by ten     
And your dreams mostly in your head
Where's the love well it came and went     
And it's been away too long

This isn't where you thought you'd be     
Alone every night with your tv
A bottle of wine won't help     
What's missing in your life

I see the writing on the wall   
Do you think it's over?
I hear what you won't say    
What's always on your mind
Don't tell me you can't ever change     
'Cause I've seen you hopeful
Tell me you will think      
Of all that you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...     
       
In a room where it all began     
With your life there in plastic bags
You give up what you never had     
Cause everything has changed

All the years they get by somehow  
And the hope where you once were proud
Of the plans they were so profound     
But were humbled by the game

I see the writing on the wall    
Cause you think it's over
I know what's goin on    
When you say you're alright
You tell me you can't start again  
Nothin's left to hope for
I say that's not true     
There's so much you can try
If only you can try     
There's so much you can try

When you look out every morning in your life
Look ahead and not behind
You never know what tomorrow brings you

This isn't where I thought you'd stay
I'm down on my knees and now I pray
Cause what you're about to do  
There'll be no turning back
No  'cause I think it's over  

I saw the writing on the wall    
But I couldn't stop you
You said that you'd hold on    
And now I say goodbye

When I think I'm out of hope  
Nothin's left to live for
I can hear you say      
It's gonna be alright
If only you can try     
YEAH YEAH  if only you can try
If only you can try      
You can try, you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...

You Can Try

11/17/25  Hello everyone:-) I don't use or plan to use AI for ANYTHING that I do.  And if I did, I would say so!!! There seems to be a wave of AI created music that has hit sc lately. It seems to be quite popular these days as with anything where one can make a buck without working too hard, but for me, there is a soulfulness in tracks where a human is performing.  My tracks took time and sacrifice, not minutes with a paid subscription to software.  I love every aspect of producing, creating, playing, singing, recording, editing, or whatever, and I spend as long as it takes to let a track go.  Though wealth and fame are not what inspires or even motivates me, I still have to pay rent, buy food, pay for electricity etc. as I suspect a bunch of here do, hence the BUY link below.

Hello - Thank you very much for visiting my soundcloud page!!! 
I write, sing, produce, and play piano/keys.

I am so grateful and honored by every listen, like, comment, follow, and album purchase from this wonderful community of creators.
