I Tried

[Verse 1]
Oh I just want to tell you that I'm leaving (leaving, leaving, me)
'Cause now I see you had no love for me (ooh ooh)
With loving you the way I do (I do)
I wanted to believe in you (in you)
And when you began to change I thought I was to blame
When our love was falling by myself I made it stand
I did it all alone, you didn't give a helping hand
But it's now too hot to hold so it's time to let go

[Chorus]
Oh, but I tried (tried my best)
Oh how I tried (tried my best)

[Verse 2]
Oh let me look up on you for the last time
Because your love's still burning in my heart
And even though it hurt inside, when you loved me last
A woman still remembers the good times of the past
When love was still live, the times before it died
The memories we had, before it all turned bad
Though all the love is gone, the memory lingers on

[Chorus]
You know I tried (tried my best)
Oh how I tried (tried my best)

[Verse 3]
I remember when our love was higher than a mountain
Climbing high and reaching to the sky
And when it started falling, you I started calling
You didn't come and I was the one that had to try
So hard I tried

[Chorus]
Oh, tried my best, you know I tried my best
Tried my best, you know I tried my best

[Verse 4]
Listen, I gave you all that I could give
I wanted our love to live
I loved with all my heart and soul
Thought you loved me through and through
I tried to love for two, without the help of you
A love that I called mine, has faded with the time
But these words you should hear
Before I leave in tears

[Outro]
You know I tried (tried my best)
Oh how I tried (you know I've tried my best)
I tried to give you everything you ever wanted (tried my best)
I tried to give you all the love you ever needed (tried my best)
I tried, you know I tried
