lyrics

Frank

A reason to give up is never hard to find
When the road ahead disturbs your peace of mind
I know not everybody liked your style
But one real listen proved it was all worthwhile
And then suddenly you felt all alone
The promise that you made felt like a stone

Man, you could have tried it one more time
Hey man, you could have tried it one more time
Nobody said it would be easy
You could have tried it one more time
And prove them all it was more than just a dream

‘Out of my league’ never seemed to cross your mind
And it made sense since we all are part of the same human kind
And you saw the downside of it all
Some rise high, they simply had to fall
The fairytale that broke your heart
Puzzled you right from the start

Hey, you could have tried it one more time
Man, you could have tried it one more time
Nobody said it would be easy
Man, you could have tried it one more time
And prove them all it was more than just a dream

It felt so strange those days in September
What was it all about
Just make sure you remember
You had every reason, every reason to be proud

Frank, you could have tried it one more time
Nobody said it would be easy
Man, you could have tried it one more time
And prove them all it was more than just a dream
You proved a lot to me
Thanks for letting me be part of your dream
