Lyrics

I 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.

Round the world, catch a flight

Say hello, just to say goodbye

Keep you close, far apart

It's a lie, but we're holding on for one more day

Just to live, but we die

We can never survive

Where you been? Who you with?

Call me back

You don't wanna know, took a sip

Just a kiss, not your friend, you don't know him

I apologize, I was low

I was high, I was out of my mind

Where'd you go?

I'm irresponsible at love

I'm savage when my heart gets cold

Warned you not to get too close

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

I try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from hurting you, from hurting you, yeah

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

I try to stop myself from hurting you

I try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from loving you, from loving you, yeah

'Round the world, catch a flight

Say hello, just to say goodbye

Keep you close, far apart

It's a lie, but we're holding on for one more day

Just to live, but we die

We can never survive

Where you been? Who you with?

Call me back

You don't wanna know, took a sip

Just a kiss, not your friend, you don't know him

I apologize, I was low

I was high, I was out of my mind

Where'd you go?

I'm irresponsible at love

I'm savage when my heart gets cold

Warned you not to get too close

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

I try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from hurting you, from hurting you, yeah

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

Yeah, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try (I try)

I try to stop myself from hurting you

I try to stop myself from hurting you

Try to stop myself from loving you, from loving you, yeah
