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)
