I Tried

I tried to show you, but you couldn't see
I tried to show you at least one possibility
A picture you could not erase, a point of view you wouldn't face
I tried to show you what you meant to me

I tried to tell you, but you couldn't hear
I tried to tell you, despite attempts to make it clear
A phone call or unread mail, sometimes words can't tell the tale
I tried to tell you but you disappear

No good deed goes unpunished, there's no cure for the blues
I doubt you'll ever hear this song so what have I to lose?
Seems like madness my dear, but not the kind that's cool or hip
Should I be looking for the life-raft or stay with the sinking ship?

I tried to love you, but my love was not for you
I tried to love you, and away you flew
So Bon voyage and adios, I'll see you somewhere up the coast
I tried to love you, and I guess I still do
