I Tried

(album: After All - 2019)

Making my way out of DLA
Running with the light of the breaking day
Staring at the sun, is it all in vain?
Gonna leave my trouble, gonna leave my pain

Going fifty-five down I-10
Ain't no rush, baby, to get back in
Never saw it coming, well, I didn't think twice
Risking everything under Marfa lights

Baby, I tried
Baby, I tried
Baby, I tried
Leaving love in the dead of night
Stayed so long and it never felt right
Baby, I tried

Everywhere I go it's pouring rain
Shouldn't have to hold on to try to stay sane
It's so hard when you're falling fast
Saying things that you never get back

Baby, I tried
Baby, I tried
Baby, I tried
Baby, I tried
Leaving love in the dead of night
Stayed so long and it never felt right
Baby, I tried

Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna fuck
'Cause I'm putting too much of me into us

Making my way out of DLA
Running with the light of a breaking day
