Try

So, I reach, and I reach
And I scream at the sky

I try and I try
And I try just to fly

But no matter how far I reach
Or how loud I scream
No matter how hard I try just to get by

All of my efforts end up the same
I'm falling short
Somebody catch me
I'm not enough
The sky's too far away

I reached and I reached
Oh, I wished for the sky

I tried and tried
But I couldn't fly

My wings are broken 
I'm not okay
Thought I reached for a candle

Turns out I reached for a fire
And got burned by the blaze

But I'm still gonna reach
And I'm still gonna scream
Maybe I can't fly, but I can still try

Was listening to a lot of musicals, specifically the sad songs in musicals. This popped up in my mind. So, yeah. Enjoy!
