We Both Tried

Saw you at the spot, right where we first met
You know you still look good, I can't deny that
Yeah we had something good, I can't deny that
But now I'm doing good, I can't deny
I did some thinking, drinking, a bit of sipping, tripping
All the things about you that I hated now I'm doing it too
And now and then, when I'm all alone in my room
I think about all of the moments that I held onto you
We had it alright, we had it well
Gave you a shoulder to lean on when both your eyes would swell
It took me months to feel it out and get you out that shell
I think between both you and me, I was the one that fell

Harder than most, I held you close
Lost in delusion, you know how this goes
Nobody knows, I overdose
You never loved me the same and it shows
I can't be your alibi
So baby this is my goodbye
You felt good to me, oh my
No asking why, well, we both tried

I took your pain as if it was my own
I took your dirty language and that tone
I took your imperfections, made you own them
I took you to the room and we would
Talk about your hopes and dreams, whether that included me
Talk about the label and the terms of exclusivity
Talk about the whether you and I would fit together
Talk about the way we're only in it for the pleasure
Now we're bluffing, fronting, a bit of touching, loving
All the things about the situation that would leave me confused
And now and then, I wonder if you're thinking it too
I think about the moments that I held onto you

You let me go, you let me grow
I was too young, but now I think I know
Enough for my own, I'm well off alone
You never loved me the same and it shows
I can't be your alibi
So baby this is my goodbye
You felt good to me, oh my
No asking why, well, we both tried
You felt good to me, oh my
No asking why, well, we both tried
