I didn't wanna hurt you,
I didn't wanna hurt myself,
You kept talking about the trust we both have
But I'm sorry to say I couldn't play it your way
Oh, I wanted to be honest
But honesty can hurt so much
Was afraid of all the pain it would cause
I was afraid of what I knew
Deep down and I'll tell you don't you
I tried I tried I tried
I scream and I whisper
To fall down in love
I tried I tried I tried
Well I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
Just wasn't any love in store
No no no no no no
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 way noooo
I know it may be wrong
to say I had to betray to be true
I admit I had run our of things that were right
I just hope you can forget
so we can both start again
I tried I tried I tried
I scream and I whisper
To fall down in love
I tried I tried I tried
Well I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
Just wasn't any love in store
I tried I tried I tried
I scream and I whisper
To fall down in love
I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
Just wasn't any love in store
I tried I tried I tried
I scream and I whisper
To fall down in love
I tried I tried I tried
Well I tried a little more
Wasn't fighting a war
Just wasn't any love in store
