Never Stop Tryin'
Endless Pursuit of Love: Del Shannon's 'Never Stop Tryin'
Lyrics
I saw you today and it's true
I encountered you today, and it's a genuine experience.
After all this time I know it's still you
Even after the passage of time, I recognize that it's still you.
And the dreams I dreamed they never came true
The dreams I had never materialized.
And here I am standing
I find myself here, confronting the reality.
I'm crazy and I know I'm a fool
I acknowledge my irrationality and foolishness.
To ever think you could love me the way I love you
I was foolish to believe you could love me as I love you.
But a fool never gives up
Despite being a fool, I won't give up.
And I'll never stop trying
I am determined to persist and never stop trying.
Ooo you don't hear me when I call out your name
You don't respond when I call your name, and it's a recurring pattern.
It's the same old game
This situation feels like an unchanging, repetitive game.
Ooo I thought maybe someday you could change
I held onto the hope that someday you might change.
But you're still the same
However, you remain the same as before.
'Cause I saw you today and it's true
I saw you today, and it's a painful truth.
You still know what you can put me through
You are aware of the emotional distress you can cause me.
And sometimes I think you just come around
Sometimes it seems you come around just to witness my downfall.
To watch me fall
It's as if you enjoy watching me suffer.
I see you and I can't help myself
I can't resist my emotions when I see you.
You talk to me but you're with somebody else
You engage with me, but you're involved with someone else.
But it's worth it just to hear you lie
Despite the pain, hearing your lies is better than not hearing you at all.
Than not to hear you at all
Complete silence is more unbearable than your deceitful words.
Ooo you don't hear me when I call out your name
You remain unresponsive when I call out to you.
It's the same old game
The situation repeats like a familiar, unchanging game.
Ooo I thought maybe someday you could change
I once hoped for a change in your behavior.
But you're still the same
However, you persist in staying the same.
I saw you today and it's true
I saw you today, confirming it's still you after all this time.
After all this time I know it's still you
Despite the passage of time, I realize it's still you.
And the dreams I dreamed they never came true
The dreams I had remain unfulfilled.
And here I am standing
Once again, I find myself standing in this situation.
I'm crazy and I know I'm a fool
I am aware of my irrationality and foolishness.
To ever think you could love me the way I love you
Despite the foolishness, I hold onto the belief that you could love me.
But a fool never gives up
A fool remains persistent and refuses to give up.
And I'll never stop trying
I am committed to never stopping my efforts to win your love.
