I tried to stop the tide

I tried but I can't hide

I tried to resist you

I tried to follow through

I tried to let you go

I tried but I just want more

I tried and tried to steal away

But you played on me



I tried to pass the time

I tried to get you off my mind

I tried to become cold

I tried to tell you no

I tried and tried to steal away

But you placed on me



I tried to look away

I tried not to see your face

I tried to forget you

I tried but it's just no use

I tried and tried to steal away

But you played on me
