[Verse 1]
I tried to leave you, I don't deny
I closed the book on us at least a hundred times
And wake up every morning by your side
[Verse 2]
The years go by, you lose your pride
The baby is crying now, but you do not go outside
And all your work is right before your eyes
[Verse 3]
Goodnight, my darling, I hope you’re satisfied
The bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide
And here's a man still working for your smile
I Tried to Leave You was written by Leonard Cohen.
