Hard As I Try

As hard as I try, I can't reach him

To show him what love is all about

Each word I say drives him farther away

And it looks like our love is burning out

I spent my life trying to please him

If only he let me be his girl

And open the door that I've knocked on before

And love me as much as he can

A moment ago, he didn't see me

Lost in his world so far away

A moment or so can be a lifetime if you know

That he's leaving and there's nothing you can say

Once in a while, I get lonesome

There's people in love, sometimes must be

And I’m feeling blue, surely ain't nothing new

'Cause being lonesome is easy for me

A moment ago, he didn't see me

Lost in his world so far away

A moment or so can be a lifetime if you know

That he's leaving and there's nothing you can say

As hard as I try, I can't reach him

To show him what love is all about

Each word I say drives him farther away

And it looks like our love is burning out
