I Can Try

I know I can't waltz in here

Acting like I'm going to take his place

It don't work that way

It's too soon, you've been through too much

For me to think that I could win your trust

Let alone your love

I can try, I can try

To take away the lonely

Even if it's only

For a while, I can make you smile

But I can't get you over him overnight

But I can try

Let my arms remind you of

Someplace where it's safe to just let go

Because you can, you know

After what he did to you

No matter what I do, the chances are

I can't unbreak your heart

I can give you hope

And I can be your friend

But I can't change the past

Or make you love again

But I can try
