Tried to Tell You (Piano Version)

It was getting late
You were afraid of yourself
Afraid that you might call her
That you could not help yourself

And what could I say?
It lived in you all day
I watched her in your eyes
Pass across your face

Like the wind in the water
I tried to tell you
That is the way that you want her
I tried to tell you

You were so afraid
To try and pull apart
The endless rain
You thought of as your heart

With blood on your hands
From the river inside
You try to deny it
You never felt the tide

Of the moon pulling closer
I tried to tеll you
That is the way that you want her
I tried to tеll you

Like the wind in the water
I will not help you not to feel
To tell yourself it wasn't real
And only fools believe these things

This is what the songs are for
This is the dirt beneath the floor
I cannot sell you on your own need

But someday there might be
Nothin' you encounter
To stand behind the fragile idea
That anything matters

I'll feel as useless
As a tree in a city park
Standing as a symbol of
What we have blown apart

You know you break what you treasure
I tried to tell you
But I, I'm not sure you remember
So I'll try to tell you

And though it cannot be measured
I tried to tell you
Would it kill you to believe in your pleasure?
I tried to tell you
