I Tried
Love's Battle: Unveiling the Heart's Struggle in Melanie Fiona's 'I Tried'
Lyrics
I tried being good but it never works
I attempted to behave appropriately, but it was ineffective.
But if I follow the rules
Adhering to the established guidelines or norms.
There was no way I'd get hurt
By following those rules, I believed I wouldn't experience pain.
But every time I let my guard down
However, each time I lowered my defenses,
I just let my heart down, ooh
I ended up disappointing myself emotionally.
I could give until you're back down
I could offer everything until you're exhausted.
Run me dry until I tap out, ooh oh
Exhausted until I surrender, unable to continue.
I could really use some sleep
I need rest desperately,
But you still won't let me rest
But you persistently prevent me from doing so.
Must've fallen way too deep
Seems like I've fallen into a very profound state,
Now I'm drowning it's so hopeless
And now I feel overwhelmed and hopeless like drowning.
No one said it would be easy
No one warned that it wouldn't be simple,
Love isn't for the weak
Love is not intended for those lacking strength.
But even in my strongest
Even at my most powerful,
You're the one I can't defeat, ooh oh
You are the one I cannot overcome.
I tried being good but it never worked
I attempted to do the right thing, but it never succeeded.
See, I was playing with fire
I was engaging in risky behavior,
When I should just let it burn
When I should have just allowed the consequences to happen.
What's the use of being good?
What's the point of following the correct path?
In love when there's is no peace hey, heyy
In love, where there's no harmony or tranquility,
Might as well be the bad girl
It might be better to adopt a rebellious attitude,
Maybe then I'd find relief o-o-o ohhhh
Perhaps then I would discover some relief.
I tried, I tried baby, you know that I tried
I made efforts, you know I tried very hard.
I don't know why I gave you my best
I'm uncertain why I gave you my utmost.
Yes, I did, yes, I did i tried, I tried
Yes, indeed, I attempted my best.
I tried, I tried oh, I tried
I made numerous attempts, oh, I tried.
