The More We Try
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some lessons are forever
Never need to change
Write and the word is written
Then we turn the page
But some lessons take forever
Time and time again
Caught in a battle that you can't surrender
And can never win
You tried to make me
The girl of your dreams
The one that you never could find
You thought you saw your face in mine
The more we try
The more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lesson learned
Is no concern
'Cause you don't even know me
To need love is all
I really learned from you
The more we try
The more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lesson learned
Is no concern
'Cause you don't even know me
Sure you've done what you can do
But when all our time is through
To be loved
Is all I ever needed of you
