I'm doin' the best I can, but I'm startin' to understand

The best I've got ain't getting me anywhere

I'm fightin' with all my might, but when I'm alone at night

Your memory is more than I can bear



Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe

Somethin' that I haven't learned to do

I can't stop believin' you're everything I need

That's a place my heart just won't go to

Tryin' not to love you



I make it a little while, without thinkin' of your sweet smile

Then suddenly I see you in my mind

Keep tellin' myself you're gone, keep sayin' I'm movin' on

But everyday I'm falling more behind



Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe

Somethin' that I haven't learned to do

I can't stop believin' you're everything I need

That's a place my heart just won't go to

Tryin' not to love you



You said I'd be fine but you were lyin' 

'Cause after all this time it feels like dyin'



Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe

Somethin' that I haven't learned to do

I can't stop believin' you're everything I need

That's a place my heart just won't go to

Tryin' not to love you



I'm tryin' not to love you
