Tried So Hard
Love's Departure: A Struggle to Keep Her Close
Lyrics
Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
Stopped briefly in the morning on the way home.
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
Realized that this time, I would be alone.
'Cause she is moving somewhere far away not slow
Expressing that the person being referred to is moving far away at a rapid pace.
And though I tried so hard to please her
Despite sincere efforts, failed to satisfy or make happy.
She said she really had to go
Received the message that she needed to leave despite the effort.
Even though this time it really hurts me bad
Even though the situation is causing significant emotional pain.
I've been through similarities, it's not the first break I've had
Having experienced similar situations before, indicating previous emotional setbacks.
And I just can't let it bring me down so low
Determined not to let the situation deeply affect one's emotional state.
And though I tried so hard to please her
Reiterating the attempt to please despite the difficulty.
There must be something more to know
Acknowledging that there is more to understand or uncover about the situation.
Never thought that we would find our end this way
Expressing surprise that the relationship is ending in this manner.
It seemed that everything was going fine
Initially, everything seemed to be going well.
Still with all the things that I can do or say
Despite one's abilities, actions, or words, it won't change the inevitable outcome.
It won't change the fate I know so well is mine
Acceptance of a predetermined destiny or fate in the situation.
So I'll stop and look right past the pain
Deciding to look beyond the immediate pain and distress.
Because I've been in love before and I can love again
Drawing on past experiences of love, expressing the ability to love again.
While she's moving somewhere far away not slow
Reiteration of the person's rapid departure.
I know I tried so hard to please her
Recalling the persistent effort to please, despite the impending separation.
She said she really had to go
Confirmation of her decision to leave.
