You Don't Even Try
Love's Fading Echo: Unrequited Devotion in Merle Haggard's MelodyLyrics
Our love keeps drifting and you keep giving me to blame
Our relationship is drifting apart, and you consistently place the blame on me.
I go on loving you although it's all in vain
Despite the futility, I continue to love you.
Now you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I
Now that you've stopped making an effort, what chance do we have?
I give my everything but you don't even try
I'm giving my all, but you're not making any effort.
I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end
I've exhausted all efforts, and I find myself at the end of the road.
Although I know it's over my heart just won't give in
Even though I realize it's over, my heart refuses to accept it.
So you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I
With your lack of concern, what chance is there for us?
I give my everything but you don't even try
I'm giving my everything, but you're not even attempting to make it work.
I've done all I can do and I'm standin' at the end
Reiteration of having done all one can, standing at the end.
Although I know it's over my heart just won't give in
Despite acknowledging the end, my heart remains resistant.
So you stop carrying so what a chance have you and I
With your lack of effort, what hope remains for us?
I give my everything but you don't even try
My commitment is unwavering, but you are not reciprocating.
