I Try to Love You

I can't do this anymore...
Love will never be the same again
Now that we have tried to part
But you keep me coming back
With this broken, bruised heart
Nothing more is what I want from you
Then to go a different way
This winding, dusty road is too
Small for both of us to play

I try and try to love you
But sometimes it doesn't work
And my heart has being walked through
This dark road and the animals that lurk
Beneath the rustled tree tops
Among the fallen leafs
Watch my broken heart
Fall down between the weeds
Wandering round the fallen world
The only thing in common
Was the love lost by this girl

No one ever wanted to see us
Apparently I was not good
Enough to ever, ever be with you
I was always in depressing moods
But why was that I really wonder
No one actually knows
But the thing that they should look to
Was how your selfishness grows

I try and try to love you
But sometimes it doesn't work
And my heart has being walked through
This dark road and the animals that lurk
Beneath the rustled tree tops
Among the fallen leafs
Watch my broken heart
Fall down between the weeds
Wandering round the fallen world
The only thing in common
Was the love lost by this girl

Why am I stuck in this nightmare
Why am I stuck with this creature
Why am I running in the dark place
Why am I angry to see your face
I'm running and running
Away from this darkness
Running and running
Away from your place

I try and try to love you
But sometimes it doesn't work
And my heart has being walked through
This dark road and the animals that lurk
Beneath the rustled tree tops
Among the fallen leafs
Watch my broken heart
Fall down between the weeds
Wandering round the fallen world
The only thing in common
Was the love lost by this girl
