I Tried

I Tried

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

To hold on

To all the love that we had

But you can’t love me back

So this is where we at

Writin\' the same song over and over again

I know and I know and I know and I know

It’s hard

To hold this heart of stone

Feel like a bag of bones

Stuck in this world alone

Yet made it on my own

Never had my back but that won’t knock me off my track

Walkin\' down this road gets hard

With a heart so scarred

Walls up like a prison guard

Overlookin\' loves graveyard

Lost our spark

Everything’s gone dark

Startin\' with tonight

Let this pain subside

Find that flame and ignite

Everything that you’ve kept inside

I know I did you wrong

Hurt you for too long

Can’t seem to move on

This time

And get back to where we started

That first night in my apartment

When you couldn’t keep your hands off of me

Let’s throw out all of the reasons why

Like I never made you cry

Baby you can’t ever say I never

I Tried

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

To hold on

To all the love that we had

But you can’t love me back

So this is where we at

Writin\' the same song over and over again

I know and I know and I know and I know

It’s hard

To hold this heart of stone

Feel like a bag of bones

Stuck in this world alone

Yet made it on my own

Never had my back but that won’t knock me off my track

Maybe I talk too much

And stab myself in my own foot

And give away all my secrets

but your the only woman I’d ever tell

Cause I know that you’ll keep it

Ya know I wish we coulda went different

but maybe I should back off cause tryin\' too hard just seems to make you even more distant

My tanks on empty burnin\' gas on them backroads like your still in my truck

Ripped off that black ice hangin\' off of my rearview cause I had the same one first

time I picked you up

And It’s takin\' me back

Makin\' me sad

That straight to voicemail kinda hit me bad

Should I take it as hope

That i just saw that you posted in my

Carhartt I don’t need it back

Just want you

I need you back

I Tried

I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried

To hold on

To all the love that we had

But you can’t love me back

So this is where we at

Writin\' the same song over and over again

I know and I know and I know and I know

It’s hard

To hold this heart of stone

Feel like a bag of bones

Stuck in this world alone

Yet made it on my own

Never had my back but that won’t knock me off my track
