We Tried

I was nineteen when I met you Wearing my heart on my sleeve What in the world was I thinking Thinking that you'd fall for me So I bought this guitar And I wrote you a song You were speechless for minutes Thought I did something wrong You said you were nervous But you'd give it a whirl You'd be my baby You'd be my girl So we went on our first date A hike at the rock Held your hand for the first time Felt like all time had stopped And then on my birthday You called all of my friends Invited them over Surprised me with them I was speechless for minutes Cause it meant the world To feel this much love To call you my girl But then came September We talked on the phone A new job in New England Was calling you home You wished it was closer By the tone of your voice I knew it was over And you'd made your choice We cried for a moment And said our goodbyes But I know it was worth it To know that we tried We tried We tried We tried Cause I was nineteen when I met you Wearing my heart on my sleeve I guess nothings changed I'm sure you can see I'm hoping you hear this I'm hoping you know That I'm better because of you I'm okay on my own I cherished the moments For a blink of an eye My heart my be broken But I'm thankful we tried We tried We tried We tried I'm thankful we tried
