You know I tried, I tried
You know I tried, I tried
My mind’s still going back
To pain that you caused me yesterday
Thought that I hit the jack
But instead you made my summer rain
You know I tried, I tried
You know I tried, I tried
Told me that I was perfect (for you)
Said that I’m really worth it (ahh)
Convinced me you were down
And it’s true, you were around
But the game served as your weakness
I was honest from the jump
When you questioned the way I feel
Now I’m questioning if the shit was real
You know I tried, I tried
You know I tried, I tried
I asked God to provide with all the answers
He told all and divided them in chapters
Man, I feel like I’ve been battered
Spread too far for me to gather
Your friends are great actors
But I know now, they never really mattered
I hope for me, it splattered
Love, I lost and it left me here shattered
You know I tried, I tried
You know I tried, I tried
