I Try
Macy Gray Lyrics

Games, changes and fears
Life is full of ups and downs, uncertainties, and insecurities, all of which can be overwhelming.

When will they go from here
When will these challenges and uncertainties end, and I can find some peace and stability?

When will they stop?
I am tired of dealing with these constant changes and fears, and I want them to come to an end already.

I believe that fate has brought us here
Despite all the challenges, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and our meeting was meant to be.

And we should be together, babe
I strongly believe that we belong together and that we have a special bond that no one else can understand.

But we're not
However, our relationship is not as straightforward as I wish it could be, and things are not working as I hoped.

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I am trying to pretend that I am okay without you, but the truth is, I cannot stop thinking about you, even when I am awake or asleep.

And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I am trying to stay calm and composed, but deep down, I am craving your attention, love, and presence.

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I am trying to end our relationship, but every time I try to say goodbye, I become emotional and cannot speak.

Try to walk away and I stumble
Even when I try to walk away from you, I find myself stumbling over my emotions and thoughts, unable to leave you behind.

Though I try to hide it, it's clear
Despite my efforts to conceal my feelings, my true emotions and desires are evident to anyone who knows me well.

My world crumbles when you are not near
My world revolves around you, and when you are not around, I feel lost, sad, and incomplete.

I may appear to be free
To the outside world, it may seem that I am free from you and our relationship, but that is far from the truth.

But I'm just a prisoner of your love
In reality, I am trapped in my feelings for you, unable to break free from the hold you have on me.

And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
I try to act like I am okay without you, and I even smile when we part ways, but deep down, I am hurting.

But my smiles are just a front
I am pretending to be happy and okay, but in reality, I am struggling to keep a facade and suppress my true feelings.

Here is my confession
I am finally opening up and confessing my deepest feelings and emotions.

May I be your possession?
I want to be with you so badly that I am willing to let go of my independence and become wholly yours.

Boy, I need your touch
I yearn for your physical touch and affection, which brings me comfort and happiness.

Your love, kisses, and such
I crave not only your touch but also your love and all the intimate things we share when we are together.

With all my might, I try
I have been trying my best to let go of my feelings and move on, but it has been a difficult and long process.

But this I can't deny
However, I cannot deny the fact that I still love you deeply and cannot imagine my life without you.

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
Once again, I am pretending that everything is fine, but the truth is, I am still fantasizing about being with you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
A final word that emphasizes the emotions and feelings expressed throughout the song.
