Lyrics

If you should see her, tell her I’m OK
Does she have one reason why she didn’t stay?
Rough and smooth, good and bad
I gave everything I had
But it really doesn’t matter anyway
God knows I tried (to hold us together)
But when love has died (it dies forever)

So I tell myself I’m better off alone
Then I spend the long night staring at the phone
City lights are coming on
I could head back to where I’m from
What if I’m not here and she comes home?
God knows I tried (that’s all I’m saying)
It’s just my pride (that stops me praying)
Rough and smooth, good and bad
I gave everything I had
But I tried

So if should you see her, say I’m doing fine
I don’t talk about the days when she was mine
Don’t say I’m a broken man
Without a map, without a plan
I’m just waiting for my stars to realign
You can say I just get down from time to time

God knows I tried (to hold us together)
But when love has died (it dies forever)
God knows I tried (to make you love me)
But I knew inside (she was so far above me)

God knows I tried (to make you love me)
God knows I tried (to make you love me)
