Lyrics

I Tried
©2002 Tim Wheeler
                                                 
‘never been to good at discipline
But I am good at writing rules
Never great at working with my hands
But I was always buying tools
                                                                                  

so when I finally fell in love with you
I studied how it should be done
I set my eyes on what the others do
And then I started on my run
                                                         
I tried to do the things you’ld do
I tried to be like you
I tried ‘til I was black and blue
and I started to forget the reason why
I tried. I tried.
                                                         
Still I found myself pursued by you
When I had nothing left to give
                                                         'seemed that even when I had no clue
You longed to teach me how to live
                                                         
I’d tried to do the things you’ld do
I’d tried. I tried to be like you
I’d tried ‘til I was black and blue
But I was only keeping us apart
                                                                                                                  I’d tried. I’d tried
                                                 

                                        

I juggled guilts and fears
Because I couldn't play the part
But you waited all those years
'cause all you wanted was my heart
                                                         
While I tried.                                                          
I'm not claiming that I know the way,
I find I'm lost at every turn
And though your love is something I convey
it isn't something I can earn
So I try to do the things you do
I try. I want to be like you
I try but I know this is true
That you will love even when I fail.
                                                 
So I try to do the things you do
I try to spend my days with you
I try to let your life come through
and you will love even when I fail
                                                 
So I try.
