Try
Newman John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much on my cards, so much going on
And lately I've found I'm heading astray
And none of your feelings came in to play
I'll make you stronger, stronger
'Cause now I can see the fakes that use me
I'll make you stronger, stronger
'Cause I know it's you saving me
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
You don't even want this
You don't even need this
You don't have to cover up your tears at all
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
Try na, na, na
10 days apart when 3 seems insane
You can't hear my voice you still hear my name
A call from a afar a message to send
I pray you don't leave me nothing's changed
I'll make you stronger, stronger
'Cause now I can see those fakes that use me
I'll make you stronger, stronger
'Cause I know it's you saving me
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
You don't even want this
You don't even need this
You don't have to cover up your tears at all
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
I'm so sorry darling
I've been breaking this home for far too long
So I, I
I will try
I will fight
You don't even want this
You don't even need this
You don't have to cover up your tears at all
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
Try na na na, oh...

Working so hard, I was so alone
I was working hard but felt alone
So much on my cards, so much going on
I had a lot going on in my life
And lately I've found I'm heading astray
I feel like I'm losing my way
And none of your feelings came in to play
You didn't seem to care about me
I'll make you stronger, stronger
I'll help you be stronger
'Cause now I can see the fakes that use me
I can see people who pretend to care about me
'Cause I know it's you saving me
I know you're the one who's been helping me
I will try, try, try not to bring it all home
I'll try not to let my problems affect our relationship
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
I'll do anything to get our relationship back on track
You don't even want this
You don't even care about this relationship
You don't even need this
You don't even need me
You don't have to cover up your tears at all
You don't have to hide your emotions from me
10 days apart when 3 seems insane
Being apart for 10 days feels like an eternity
You can't hear my voice you still hear my name
Even though we're apart, you still think about me
A call from a afar a message to send
I'll call you from far away to stay connected
I pray you don't leave me nothing's changed
I hope you don't leave me and that things will stay the same
I'm so sorry darling
I'm sorry for hurting you
I've been breaking this home for far too long
I've been damaging our relationship for a while
Try na na na, oh...
I'll keep trying to make things work
