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.

Games, changes and fears

When will they go from here?

When will they stop?

I believe that fate has brought us here

And we should be together babe, but we're not

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool but I'm fading

I try to say good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free but I'm just a prisoner of your love

I may seem all right and smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front, just a front! (hey)

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool but I'm fading

I try to say good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession

May I be your possession

Boy I need your touch

Your love kisses and such

With all my might I try but this I can't deny, deny

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

(But I'm dreaming of you babe)

I'll keep my cool but I'm fading

I try to say good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near
