I Tried

(album: The Buffet - 2015)

You shut down when I'm trying to fix it
We both know the end result shit
And we've both done our share of wrong, yeah
Whoa, you lock me out
Then you, cast me to the underworld
Talk to me suddenly you, you judging everything that I do
But you want me to be honest with you, yeah
But you ain't trying to be honest with me
So selfish
But despite everything
Despite everything, yeah

I try (I try), yeah
I try (I try), yeah
I try (I try), yeah
I try (I try), yeah
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't let you go
Oh no, let you go, oh no

Is this just a test of my strength?
The way you come at me, yeah
Point your finger, how are we gonna last, huh
If we keep dwelling on the past?
Whoa, you say you're hurting
Well, I get frustrated too
But the bottom line is what do we do
I wish that you were in my shoes, yeah
But I want you to be honest with me
But sometimes I just can't be honest with you
So selfish
But despite everything
Despite everything yeah

I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't let you go
Oh no, let you go, oh no

Shorty listen to me
Let's talk not scream
Chips fall down, we can get 'em right back up
Turn things around, chance gonna change our luck
Girl count your blessings
We can have it all right now
You ain't gotta question
My heart is where you are right now, shh
Let's make love
Don't talk okay, let's just make love
Don't walk away
But I need us to be honest with us
But sometimes it's so hard for us to trust
You're so stubborn
But girl despite everything
Despite everything, yeah

I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
I try (I try), yeah (I tried, I tried, I tried)
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't
But I can't but I can't but I can't but I can't let you go
Oh no, I can't let you go, oh n

See I tried (tried, tried, tried)
You cried (you cried, cried, cried)
I can't let you go, oh no, yeah, yeah
