I Tried by Steven Foster

(Chorus x1)
I tried so hard to show you what kind of life you could have. I tried so hard to make you my other half. I tried so hard to keep u here today. I tried so hard but you pushed me away.

(Verse 1)
Girl, you know I liked you. I would never try to hurt you. If you can't see what kind of life I'm trying to show you. Maybe you should stick with the same dudes. All I asked for from you was a chance. I wanted to show you that I can be a great man. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe this isn't my season. You don't understand how I feel. You played me. I thought you were real. I was gonna call u my baby. You were gonna be forever my lady. Do you really understand how I feel or are you too blind to see what's real?

(Chorus x1)

(Verse 2)
I can't believe how hard I fell for you. Now I feel like a fool. The first day I saw you my whole world stopped. Now you got me shell shocked. I'm so angry that you played me. Will someone please come and save me? My whole world is shattered and broken. I'm left feeling battered and hoping. Sometimes I can't sleep at night. I promise I was gonna do you right. I was gonna be your protector. I just wanted to be your lover. I was gonna help you. Girl, you don't know how bad I fell for you. I was stupid and too blind to see. I was too blind to see that you weren't right for me.

(Chorus x1)

(Hook x2)
I tried to please you, but I guess I tried too hard. Do I really deserve to be played like a retard? I wanted to give you a better life. I wanted to make you my wife.
