We Tried
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.
I'm my daddy when I drink
My mama when I cry
I'm honest when I tell the truth
And lying when I lie
And there's a lot of things that I don't do
'Cause I don't follow through like I want to
But I don't want to
The devil's begging for me time
The good Lord for my soul
I'm always easier to catch
Than I've ever been to hold
I'm a twisted rose, a tangled weed
The last thing that I need is to want you
'Cause I don't want to
But that ain't what this love's about
My heart ain't on my side
And if someday it don't work out
Then we can say: "we tried"
I'm not afraid of anything
But now I'm running scared
I know the hurt that this could bring
Is more than I could bear
I'm tired of wearing lonely shoes
I've nothing left to lose that I don't want to
But I don't want to
'Cuz that ain't what this love's about
My heart ain't on my side
And if someday it don't work out
Then we can say: "we tried"
That ain't what this love's about
My heart ain't on my side
And if someday it don't work out
Then we can say: "we tried"
Yeah we can say: "we tried"
