I Tried

(album: In Case We Die - 2012)

Mhhhmmmh
Gimme something boy, gimme something
gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I know you see me baby, I know you feel my baby
I know you hear me when I call your name, baby

Gimme me something boy, gimme something
gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Act like you want me baby or tell me something's wrong
I'm tryna let you in but we're just too far gone

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)
Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true
cuz I know you probably think I lied
There's just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that...

Uhm, Gimme something boy, gimme something
gimme something cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy, getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

Why do I put myself through this again and again? No

Gimme something boy, gimme something
gimme somethin cuz boy it don't feel right
I'm getting nothing, boy getting nothing
I'm getting nothing and giving all of my might

I End up like "why did I waste my time tryna make it right?"
When I know we're just too far gone for this oh

Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)
Too far gone, oh just too far gone (long gone)

And I love you more than air it's true
cuz I know you probably think I lied
There's just one thing that I gotta say to you

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that...

You just don't know what you got
And when I leave you're gonna see whether you like it or not
And all you secrets that I keep you can consider forgot
It's not a concern to me what all your business is 'bout anymore
so leave the key in its usual spot by the door
and if you please lock it on the way out if you
Forget anything I guess then baby your fucked
'cuz unless I can sell it, consider it chucked, uh

It's such a shame that you're gone
But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long
To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life
Boy you were tripping when you promised you gon' make me your wife
And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore
I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore
And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart
You'll curse the day I want away and everything fell apart

It's such a shame that you're gone
But it's a goddamn tragedy I waited so long
To kick your ungrateful ass out of my house and my life
Boy you were tripping when you promised you gon' make me your wife
And so you'll never see me crying over you anymore
I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a whore
And when you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart
You'll curse the day I want away and everything fell apart

I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried
I want you to know that I tried, I tried, I tried,Oh
I want you to know that...
