Tryna Let It Go

(album: The Magic Tree - 2018)

I've made my mistakes it's true
Maybe one and maybe two
Maybe more than quite a few
Need I even say?
I thought I could change someone
Light your way with what I'd done
Clear the clouds and shine some sun
Down on brighter days

That's the way it coulda been
That's the way it shoulda been
Don't I wish it woulda been?
That wont make it so
I lie down with my regrets
Tryna sleep and can't as yet
I guess I'm still that upset
Tryna let it go

I love you and you love me
But not unconditionally
I can't show you what I see
I'm not sure someone can
If I's some reg'lar, laid back guy
Maybe we'd see eye to eye
I am who I am and I
Tried to be your man

That's the way it coulda been
That's the way it shoulda been
Don't I wish it woulda been?
That wont make it so
I lie down with my regrets
Tryna sleep and can't as yet
I guess I'm still that upset
Tryna let it go

I feel bad and I feel blue
More than I'm accustomed to
I'll move on and I'll see you
When that moment comes
If I'd've played a card or two
Differently, well, maybe you
Would have been receptive to
Where I'm coming from

That's the way it coulda been
That's the way it shoulda been
Don't I wish it woulda been?
That wont make it so
I lie down with my regrets
Tryna sleep and can't as yet
I guess I'm still that upset
Tryna let it go

Got some land in Idaho
I may get there I don't know
Waste some time and watch it snow
Down on ev'rything
You wont budge and so I'll go
Even though I love you so
I'd've still tried harder though
What good would it bring?

That's the way it coulda been
That's the way it shoulda been
Don't I wish it woulda been?
That wont make it so
I lie down with my regrets
Tryna sleep and can't as yet
I guess I'm still that upset
Tryna let it go
