"Tried And Cried" lyrics

(Three, four)

Oh, I know I wasn't very good to you
But I wasn't that bad
Now you're saying things that just ain't true
And it makes me mad
You see, I spent a lot of time
Thinkin' about how you done me wrong
You're the one that left me in the dark for
Oh so long

Oh, and I tried
And I tried
And I cried
And I cried for you

Oh, there was a lot of things between us
A lot of things unsaid
A lot of time that passed then
A lot of ground was tread
Though you washed your hands of all of it
Turned your back and run
There was never a time when it was fine
And I was never done

Oh, and I tried
And I tried
And I cried
And I cried for you

Oh, it was good to hear your voice
And how you really felt
I feel better now that the lines are drawn
And all the cards were dealt
Oh, but I hope you will remember
And I hope you don't forget
That when you walk away from unfinished things
They turn into regret

Oh, and I tried
And I tried
And I cried
And I cried
And I tried
And I tried
And I cried
And I cried
And I tried
(Tried, tried, tried)
And I tried
And I cried
(Cried, cried, cried)
And I cried for you
