I Didn’t Try Songtext
von Trampled Under Foot

I remember the day that I saw your face
Knew you didn′t love me the same
'Cause we′ve been all alone, loving on the phone
It ain't easy and hearts change

I never thought we'd ever say goodbye
But we just crossed too many lines

And I just couldn′t, no, I just couldn′t live a lie
But it's not like I didn′t try
I was fooled by your innocent smile
Broke my heart and made me cry
Oh Lord, and I cried


I thought I knew you well, but I was under some spell
Blind to the tricks you pulled
It took me so long to see unconditionally
Was only a one way road

I lived for you so long, been under your thumb
Right where you wanted me

Now you run around town, write my name in the ground
'Cause I′m happy and I'm free
Now you can air my dirty laundry
Expose me as a fraud of love

But I just couldn′t, no, I just couldn't live a lie
But it's not like I didn′t try
I was fooled by your innocent smile
You broke my heart and made me cry
Oh Lord, and I cried

Now I live for myself and the love I can give
And finally I′m feeling free
