I’ve searched for the answers, been down every road
Have reached for the keys, made it all about me, and spun out of control
Thought I took the right turns, somehow I was wrong
Turns out that the Jesus I needed was walking with me all along
Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it alright
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells that would always run dry
Bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways ’til I laid down my pride
Oh, it’s like You knew I couldn’t save my own life
Heaven knows I tried
Tried trusting my feelings ’cause they said I’m okay
Oh, but I should’ve listened when You told me livin’ without You I won’t find my way
And Heaven knows I tried
And nothing I did ever made it alright
Wasting my time
Drinking from wells that would always run dry
I’m bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
Was stuck in my ways ’til I laid down my pride
Oh, it’s like You knew I couldn’t save my own life
Heaven knows I tried, played all my cards
But going for broke didn’t get me real far
There’s nothing worth finding outside of Your heart
Heavens knows I tried
You said Your Way’s better, I’m glad You were right
Yeah, Heaven knows I tried
Ooh, yeah
I’m bending and breaking, and chasing the highs
I was stuck in my ways ’til I laid down my pride
Oh, it’s like You knew I couldn’t save my own life
Heaven knows I tried
