I Tried
I made it
In my mind
I really only like you
When I'm feelin' lonely
I said it
But you're blind
You're thinkin' that I love you
An' you're actin' holy
You're a thorn
In my side
I was only with you
Out of desperation
You were taken
For a ride
You think you split with me
Not the situation
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
Took me out
Tagged along
Nothin' much to say
Boring an' pretentious
Think you're so smart
But you're dumb
You think you take the high ground
But you're so licentious
So one night
We made out
Every little move
You were so self-centred
And I saw
What you're about
Wantin' just to use me
For your fun uncensored
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
I tried
Movin' along
It's a sweet sensation
I redefined
The situation
With or without
No hesitation
Life without you
Is a celebration
Movin' along
It's a sweet sensation
I redefined
The situation
With or without
No hesitation
Life without you
Is a celebration
But I tried
Oh I tried
You lied
But I tried
I tried
You lied
I tried
Yes I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
Yes, I tried
In my mind
I really only like you
When I'm feelin' lonely
I said it
But you're blind
You're thinkin' that I love you
An' you're actin' holy
You're a thorn
In my side
I was only with you
Out of desperation
You were taken
For a ride
You think you split with me
Not the situation
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
Took me out
Tagged along
Nothin' much to say
Boring an' pretentious
Think you're so smart
But you're dumb
You think you take the high ground
But you're so licentious
So one night
We made out
Every little move
You were so self-centred
And I saw
What you're about
Wantin' just to use me
For your fun uncensored
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
Oh I tried
I tried
I tried
Movin' along
It's a sweet sensation
I redefined
The situation
With or without
No hesitation
Life without you
Is a celebration
Movin' along
It's a sweet sensation
I redefined
The situation
With or without
No hesitation
Life without you
Is a celebration
But I tried
Oh I tried
You lied
But I tried
I tried
You lied
I tried
Yes I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
Yes, I tried
