Futile At Best

I'm the shadow of a man
Though flawed in many ways
I look up to Your heavenly rays

And so rarely in this world
Are chances given twice,
So tell me, why was I so nice?

Was I wrong to ask this much of you?
Just know my words are true,
I would have shined for you.

Mark my words,
Somethings about to break,
You've got one last dance, so take a chance.

I gotta push the peddle down,
Punch it to the floor,
Just to gently knock on your door.

I tried so hard,
Yet my attempts,
Were futile at best.

So I guess this is good-bye
After all these broken lies,
It's good-bye.
