Just Sayin/I Tried
The Internet Lyrics

Rock babe
I don't love you no more (Rock babe)

Used to be you and me, young and in love
Honestly used to think love was enough

Tell me what it gotta be
To put you out from under me
To beat you all up under me
You already moved on
Was in love with you for too long

Yeah I'm just sayin'
Yeah I'm just sayin' girl
I'm not trying to hurt your feelings
But I gotta say girl
You fucked up
Now I don't even want you
Can't believe I wrote another song about you
You fucked up
You made another mistake
Now you know that I'm not the type that you can replace
You fucked up
Now I don't even want you
And I noticed that I'm better off without you
You fucked up
Now that I got some cash flow
And I have everything that I've ever asked for
You fucked up

You're talkin' like you got a shot changin' my mind
But I know better than that, you're wasting your time

Tell me what it gotta be
To put you out from under me
To beat you all up under me
You already moved on
Was in love with you for too long

Yeah I'm just sayin' (sayin')
I'm just sayin' girl
I'm not trying to hurt your feelings
I gotta say girl
You fucked up
Now I don't even want you
Can't believe I wrote another song about you
You fucked up
You made another mistake
Now you know that I'm not the type that you can replace
You fucked up
Now I don't even want you
And I noticed that I'm better off without you
You fucked up
Now that I got some cash flow
And I have everything that I've ever asked for
You fucked up

Don't be calling on my phone no more, please
You fucked up
Sober, peace
You fucked up
I don't love you no more

Got a letter from an old friend the other day
Crumpled up, had a scent reminiscent of May
Said she's doing just fine, that I've been on her mind and
That she wishes that I never ever went away
I gave it all I had
Just to let it go
But you should know that I tried

I tried
Just know that I tried
That I tried
I tried

Got a call from an old friend the other night
He said that he just saw you and you're living a lie
We were always best friends
It all came to an end and things change
One day I hope you realize

I tried
Girl, I tried
Yeah, I tried
I tried

Maybe one day
We'll find common ground
When the weather's warm
And the trees are green
Maybe when leaves start falling
Maybe then we'll find ourselves together again

That's it my seeds are there in your garden
I fell in love with smoke and mirrors
The spring I guess we'll see if we blossom
Or are we just fallen petals?
Is it autumn?

Maybe one day
We'll find common ground
When the ocean's cold
And the pigs all fly
Maybe when the sky starts falling
