I Tried
I didn't wanna hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt myself
You kept talking about the trust we must have
But I'm sorry to say I couldn't play it your way
Oh, I wanted to be honest
And honesty can hurt so much
Was afraid of all the pain it would cause
I was afraid of what I knew
Deep down and I'm telling it all to you
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
(And I tried) I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store
No, no, no, no, no, no
I had to betray you
Or I would have betrayed myself
You kept saying it was the same old thing
But I'm afraid I didn't see it that way, no
I know it may be wrong
To say I had to betray to be true
I admit I had run out of things that were right
And I just hope you can forgive
So we can both start to live
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
Tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store (love in store)
Now I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting any war
There just wasn't any love in store
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
I didn't wanna hurt myself
You kept talking about the trust we must have
But I'm sorry to say I couldn't play it your way
Oh, I wanted to be honest
And honesty can hurt so much
Was afraid of all the pain it would cause
I was afraid of what I knew
Deep down and I'm telling it all to you
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
(And I tried) I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store
No, no, no, no, no, no
I had to betray you
Or I would have betrayed myself
You kept saying it was the same old thing
But I'm afraid I didn't see it that way, no
I know it may be wrong
To say I had to betray to be true
I admit I had run out of things that were right
And I just hope you can forgive
So we can both start to live
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
Tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store
I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any love in store (love in store)
Now I tried, I tried, I tried
I screamed and I whispered
And I fought and I loved
I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting any war
There just wasn't any love in store
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
