Sarah Lake - I Tried

[Verse 1]
Gold stars, straight A's, honor roll
Trophies, medals, mostly gold
I never met a problem that I didn't know how to solve
Growing up chasin' that perfect
Think you meet your perfect person
So you keep on rearranging, but the puzzle pieces just won't fit

[Chorus]
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
To tell the truth, sometimes I lie
To make us seem okay, but I couldn't save us
We all make mistakes sometimes
I'm finding out that you were mine
Our stars were crossed, we turned to dust
Now therе ain't nothing left of us
But I tried, I tried, I triеd, I tried, I tried

[Verse 2]
You brought out a side of me
I wish now I could unsee
Hope they take it off my record, hell, I'll go ahead and wipe it clean, yeah
Ooh

[Chorus]
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
To tell the truth, sometimes I lie
To make us seem okay, but I couldn't save us
We all make mistakes sometimes
I'm finding out that you were mine
Our stars were crossed, we turned to dust
Now there ain't nothing left of us
But I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried

[Bridge]
It's not me, it's you, yeah
There's nothing I can do
Baby, it's not me, it's you
There's nothing I can do
No, 'cause

[Chorus]
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
To tell the truth, sometimes I lie
To make us seem okay, but I couldn't save us
We all make mistakes sometimes
I'm finding out that you were mine
Our stars were crossed, we turned to dust
Now there ain't nothing left of us
But I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
Yeah, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
