I Try
Will Downing Lyrics

I tried to do
I put all my effort into doing the best for you.

The best I can for you
I gave you the best that I am capable of.

But it seems not enough
But it appears that my best was not sufficient for you.

And you know I care
You are aware that I deeply love you.

Even when you're not there
Even when you are absent, my feelings for you don't change.

But it's not what you want
However, you crave for something more.

You close your door
You shut me out of your life, distancing yourself from me.

When I want to give you more
Even though I want to give more of myself to you.

And I feel, I feel so out of place
It makes me feel uncomfortable and disconnected.

And you know it's true
You recognize the reality of the situation.

Don't you think I'm good enough for you?
Do you doubt my abilities, skills, and worth?

Can't you see
Don't you notice or realize?

(Can't you see)
Don't you recognize?

That you're hurting me
That your actions are causing me emotional pain and discomfort.

And I want this pain,
I desire to get rid of this pain.

I want this pain to stop
I wish to end this excruciating pain.

So if you really care,
Thus, if you genuinely love and care about me,

I mean, if you really really care
I emphasize that you genuinely love, treasure, and cherish me.

Then open up your heart to me
Then please allow me to enter your world and understand you better.

Yes, open up to me, to me, to me, to me
Yes, please open your heart and world to me so that we can bond.

And I really really tried
I really gave my best and attempted to make this work.

You know I that I try
You know that I always strive to make things right.

And I try and I try and I try to make you
I continue to make an effort to bring joy into your life.

And I try and tried and I tried and I tried
I made multiple attempts to change things, but to no avail.

And I tried and tried
I made every effort possible.

You know that I tried
You know that I gave it my all.

And I need to be with you
I can't imagine a life without you - I need you.

I tried, I need you
I gave my best and want you in my life.

You know that I wanted
You know I craved your love and affection.

I'll do anything to keep
I will do everything in my power to keep you happy.

You satisfied, my love
You pleased and happy with me, my love.

(To see you through)
(To be with you through thick and thin.)

Because I want you and I need you
Because I genuinely love and require you in my life.

You know that I tried, I tried, I tried
You know that I did everything possible to keep us together.
