I Tried

I didn't want to hurt you I didn't want to hurt myself You kept talking about the trust we must have But I am sorry to say I couldn't play it your way I wanted to be honest but honesty can hurt too much I was afraid of all the pain it would cause was afraid of what I knew deep down and of telling it all to you I tried I tried I tried I screamed and I whispered I fought and I loved I tried I tried I tried I tried a little more wasn't fighting a war There just wasn't any love in store I had to betray you Or I would have betrayed myself You kept saying it was the same old thing But I'm afraid I didn't see it that way I know it may be wrong to say I had to betray to be true I admit I had run out of things that were right and I just hope you can forgive so we can both start to live I tried I tried I tried I screamed and I whispered I fought and I loved I tried I tried I tried I tried a little more wasn't fighting a war There just wasn't any love in store I tried I tried I tried I screamed and I whispered I fought and I loved I tried a little more wasn't fighting a war There just wasn't any love in store I tried I tried I tried I screamed and I whispered I fought and I loved I tried I tried I tried I tried a little more wasn't fighting a war There just wasn't any love in store
