Lyrics

Useless Attempts
Useless Attempts
Useless Attempts
Useless Attempts
From me to you.
And God, I tried but now it
seems there’s not so much
that I can do.
(Useless Attempts)
I feel your heart beat fine.
But not in time. But right on
queue.
(Useless Attempts)
There’s something I could
never do. Useless attempts.
I sit with my friends and we
play that D’yer Mak’er. I
can relate to The Plant when
he sings of that one
Heartbreaker, you know:
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh , he moans,
Oh oh oh oh oh - don’t GO
I find it hard to impress, and
when I fail, to digress.
Which route to take would
be best to make you mine
and all the rest.
I , I , ah, I don’t know.
Well help me know .
Oh oh oh oh oh ...
Useless attempts.
I know the ties are feeling
sore for my love, so forlorn.
Not a good Friend nor Foe. I
never meant to leave you so
torn...
Please just say no more
because if you walk right
through that door, it’s a
piercing dagger through the
core. Like Love and War..
I sit with my friends and it’s
only in our nature when the
will of God is fading fast.
And when I held you in my
presence, I knew I would
regret it. Your love was so
contagious, We had to make
it last.
I find it hard to impress, and
when I fail, to digress.
Which route to take would
be best to make you mine
and all the rest.
I , I , ah, I don’t know.
Won’t you help me know?
Oh oh oh oh oh ...
