I Tried

[Verse 1]
You said you love me
Girl, you were wrong
If you wanted this, you would've just come home
You said you needed me
Girl, did you lie?
Tellin' me you miss me, but you won't drive by
I guess, misery loves misery
And I can't help no more
I can't save your soul
I didn't wanna let you go
[?] come down, 'cause I can't tell no more
When you feel low
I didn't wanna let you go, but
I'm not your momma
Not your provider, your adviser
My heart was still pained from all that I should've said lighter
But I fight her
Baby, you thought I was older
If I was wiser
Then I would know
How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

[Chorus]
'Cause I tried all the things
I provided the thoughts in my mind
That I hope was just lies
And I cared for you, baby
I swear I wanted to be there
So don't ask me how we fell apart
I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know

[Verse 2]
You took me, both our families, and so much love for granted
And it pains me that I had your back when I shouldn't have had it
And I shouldn't be mad
I shouldn't even be sad
'Cause honest I was [?]
Still I couldn't let you go, so
I lied to my momma, to save all the drama
That was shit in the past [?]
[?] you weren't even honest, till I bought it
Baby, if I was older
If I was wiser
Then I would know
How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

[Chorus]
I tried all the things
I provided the thoughts in my mind
That I hope was just lies
And I cared for you, baby
I swear I wanted to be there
So don't ask me how we fell apart
I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl, I really don't know

[Outro]
I can't let you go
You said you needed me
