Tried and Cried

(Three, four) Oh, I know I wasn't very good to you, but I wasn't that bad Now you're saying things that just aren't true and it makes me mad You see I've spent a lot of time, thinking about how you done me wrong You're the one that left me in the dark for, oh so long Oh, and I tried, and I tried And I cried, and I cried for you Oh, there was a lot of things between us, a lot of things unsaid A lot of time that passed then, a lot of ground was tread Though you washed your hands of all of it Turned your back and run There was never a time when it was fine, and I was never done Oh, I tried, and I tried And I cried, and I cried for you Oh, it was good to hear your voice, and how you really felt I feel better now that the lines are drawn and all the cards are dealt Oh, but I hope you will remember, and I hope you don't forget That when you walk away from unfinished things they turn into regret, oh And I tried, and I tried And I cried, and I cried And I tried, and I tried And I cried, and I cried And I tried (tried, tried) and I tried And I cried (cried, cried), and I cried (cried) for you
