I've Tried

Today it did me in
I woke up with nothing,
I've tried but you can't stay
For me you've lost all feelings.
I watch you pack your life
And try to hide my fears,
Though angry waves of words
Can't wash away my tears.
What will I do
Alone and without you?

I can't let go
I'm dying more inside,
They all keep telling me
"Just take it all in stride".
But my love for you
Won't seem to subside
God knows I've tried.

As time goes by
I'm tortured still deep,
I've been with other men
Your memory is all I keep.
The numbness fills me
Like an ocean wave I'm pained,
If I don't get you back
I'll surely go insane.

I can't let go
I'm dying more inside,
They all keep telling me
"Just take it all in stride".
But my love for you
Won't seem to subside
God knows I've tried.

The laughter and sun of yesterday
Is all I have left to hold
If you come back to me,
I swear I'll change and
Never let you go.
I can't survive
God knows I've tried...

I can't let go
I'm dying more inside,
They all keep telling me
"Just take it all in stride".
But my love for you
Won't seem to subside
God knows I've tried.
