I Tried

How much pain can I take

When you leave me alone

How much blame can I take

For the part you don't own

You know I've tried

To keep it together

You know I've tried

For worse and for better

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried

Tell me toughen up

When things get real hard

And I'm feeling beaten down

Tell me life is rough

And you've been through worse stuff

There's no need to break down

How much pain can I take

When you leave me alone

How much blame can I take

For the part you don't own

You know I've tried

To make things better

You know I've tried

To always matter

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried

Uh, Uh, God knows I tried
