You Tried

YOU TRIED - Written by Carroll Bryant

The winds blow hard

There's an ache in your heart

She's on your mind as you know

That you did hurt her

There's so much pain

Things can't be erased 

You didn't want it to end like this

Love's never an easy ride

But you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live in a lie

And you didn't want to say goodbye

But you tried
Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

The touch of emotion

Brings lust like an ocean

But her fingers didn't do

What you wanted them to do

There's so much shame

Things will never change

You didn't want it to end like this

But you had it building up inside

And you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live out a lie

And you didn't want to take her pride

But you tried

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

What does it mean to lay awake in the night

By yourself and hopelessly you scream

What does it prove to get it on with a stranger 

Who doesn't even know how to satisfy you

You didn't want it to end like this

But you couldn't just run and hide

But you tried

Yes, you tried

You couldn't live in a lie

And you didn't really want to say goodbye

And it was really building up inside

And you didn't want to take her pride

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried

With every little thing that you had inside

You tried

Yes, you tried

You know you really tried

You tried to save her heart

Spare her from falling apart

Save her from the landslide

But it was all building up inside

But you tried

Oh, you tried

Yes, you tried
