I Tried

Four months, three weeks, two days
And you’re still on my mind.
I can’t be without you, baby,
Your image is haunting me.
If these walls could talk, talk 'bout us
Tell me what would they say?
They had to see the pain,
They witnessed everything.
Don’t ask me why, it’s hard to say,
I know I’ve never felt this way.
It’s like a brick upon my heart
Now that we’re living worlds apart.
Baby, you were my inspiration,
Every lyric to my song.
And it’s taking up all that I have
Not to break down in tears, said I’ll never look back.
Cause we promised forever and you turned into never
Now there’s nothing left to decide.
Oh, baby, I tried.
Yes, I did.
Memories left me all gray,
Said they don’t ever stop
They got me wondering,
I got some questions for you.
Have you found somebody new?
Has she taken my place?
I don’t wanna know,
It’s a place that my heart won’t close.
Don’t ask me why, it’s hard to say,
I know I’ve never felt this way.
It’s like a brick upon my heart
Now that we’re living worlds apart.
Baby, you were my inspiration,
Every lyric to my song.
And it’s taking up all that I have
Not to break down in tears, said I’ll never look back.
'Cause we promised forever and you turned into never
Now there’s nothing left to decide.
Oh, baby, I tried.
So when the lights go down
Reality shows me that these covers and these sheets
Won’t keep me warm.
Lie here, just to have a heart
Got me trying to figure out the places we went wrong.
And it’s taking up all that I have
Not to break down in tears, said I’ll never look back.
'Cause we promised forever and you turned into never
Now there’s nothing left to decide.
Oh baby, I tried.
