Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I try to do

The best I can for you

But it seems it's not enough

And you know I care

Even when you're not there

But it's not what you want

[Verse 2]

You close your door

When I wanna give you more

And I feel I feel so out of place

And you know it's true

Don't you think I'm good enough for you

[Verse 3]

Can't you see

That you're hurting me

And I want I want this pain to stop

So if you really care

I mean, if you really, really care

But then open up your heart to me

Open up to me

[Verse 4]

You know that I tried to be with you

And you know that I wanted to see it through

And you know that I needed to make you mine

It was just a matter of time

You know that I tried to be with you

That I tried

[Verse 5]

And you know that I wanted to make it through

Make it through to you

You know that I needed to make you mine

It was only a matter of time

Calling the matter of time

You know that I tried to be with you

[Verse 6]

And I tried and tried and I tried and tried

You know that I wanted to see it through

You know that I needed to make you mine

And it was only matter of time

You know that I tried to be with you

You know that I needed to see it through
