when your down
when your having a terrible life
when you dont know what to do
when you dont know what is right

just think to yourself
what have you tried

have you tried finding someone thats worse off than you
have you tried finding someone with the same problems too

have you tried exiling yourself
trying to find out who you are
have you tried going somewhere
somewhere far

have you tried finding another person to care for
something you wish someone would do for you
something that doesn't take the loneliness of one
but the friendship of two

have you tried finding out what it is you want
have you tried thinking of somewhere you want to go
have you tried goin there
just knowing what you know

have you tried doing smoething crazy
have you tried doing something no one else would do
have you tried doing something near death
have you tried doing something that outnumbers you twenty to two

have you tried actually trying
have you tried not considering not one possibility but two
have you tried not lying
have you tried thinking of someone other than you

have you tried seeing that life isn't always so bad
have you tried seeing that life isn't always so sad
have you tried seeing all of the opportunities you've always had

have you tried realizing that family and friends are everything
have you tried realizing that sacrificing their happiness wouldn; t bring good to anyone
have you tried realizing that you can do anything
have you tried realizing that their is nothing that cant be done
