I'm tired of fighting,

Got a fever when you try to get out

I've tried but I can't understand what all the fuss is about

I wish that I could be the man that you wanted me to be

I need you to see...



I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly (you know I try)

My souls full of pain when you cry (when you cry, baby when you cry)

I wish I was perfect and God knows I try

But everything I do just tears your heart in two

I wonder why



I never thought that being lovers meant that we can't be friends

If only I could understand what makes you feel it's the end

What can I say to make you stay and stop breaking free from me?

I need you to see (that I)



I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly (you know I try)

My souls full of pain when you cry (when you cry, baby when you cry)

I wish I was perfect and God knows I try

But everything I do (everything I do)

Just tears your heart in two

I wonder why



Can't you see it's killing me?

It's not the way things used to be

Can you remember yesterdays

(yesterday we used to smile)

We used to smile without a care

Whenever you and I were near

Can't you see that I want to be with you?

Everything I do tears your heart in two



(I try)

I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly (you know I try)

My souls full of pain when you cry (when you cry, baby when you cry)

I wish I was perfect and God knows I try

But everything I do just tears your heart in two

I wonder why



I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly (you know I try)

(I can't seem to fly)

My souls full of pain when you cry (when you cry, baby when you cry)

I wish I was perfect and God knows I try (God knows, God knows I try)

But everything I do just tears your heart in two

I wonder why



I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly (you know I try)

My souls full of pain when you cry (when you cry, baby when you cry)

I wish I was perfect
