I Try Lyrics

[00:07.96] Games, changes, and fears
[00:12.01] When will they go from here?
[00:16.14] When will they stop?
[00:18.03] I believe that fate has brought us here
[00:24.27] And we should be together babe
[00:28.61] But we're not
[00:32.65] I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
[00:38.88] And I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning
[00:42.73] I try to say goodbye and I choke
[00:47.29] Try to walk away and I stumble
[00:50.35] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[00:53.56] My world crumbles when you are not near
[00:56.91] Goodbye and I choke
[00:59.68] I try to walk away and I stumble
[01:02.97] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[01:05.99] My world crumbles when you are not near
[01:10.32] I may appear to be free
[01:14.40] But I'm just a prisoner of your love
[01:20.92] And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
[01:27.19] But my smiles are just a front
[01:31.46] Just a front, hey
[01:35.32] And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
[01:41.63] And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feigning
[01:45.75] I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
[01:49.90] Try to walk away and I stumble
[01:53.01] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[01:56.34] My world crumbles when you are not near
[01:59.80] Goodbye and I choke (yeah)
[02:02.44] I try to walk away and I stumble
[02:05.72] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[02:08.27] My world crumbles when you are not near
[02:14.22] Here is my confession
[02:17.03] May I be your possession?
[02:20.52] Boy, I need your touch
[02:23.43] Your love, kisses and such
[02:26.61] With all my might I try
[02:29.65] But this I can't deny
[02:34.08] Deny
[02:38.30] And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
[02:42.18] (But I'm dreaming of you, babe)
[02:44.58] And I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning
[02:48.65] I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
[02:52.74] Try to walk away and I stumble
[02:56.19] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[02:59.24] My world crumbles when you are not near
[03:02.61] Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[03:05.19] I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey yeah!)
[03:08.55] Though I try to hide it, it's clear (said I love y'all)
[03:11.62] My world crumbles when you are not here (give y'all kisses and-)
[03:15.32] Goodbye and I choke (goodbye, I choke, yeah)
[03:17.64] I try to walk away and I stumble
[03:21.08] Though I try to hide it, it's clear
[03:24.14] My world crumbles when you are not near
[03:28.68] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:32.44] Yeah, yeah
[03:34.44]
