I try to be happy, boy, since you've found love elsewhere

I try to move on and pretend like I don't care

I try to get you out of my head, baby boy, I swear

But the more I try the more I die inside



I try to not look when I see you out hanging with her

I try to be cool and...seeing ya'll don't hurt

I try to fake a smile but sometimes that don't work

'Cause the more I try I die inside



I try to keep going like everything's still all good

I try to stop myself from driving by your neighborhood

And I tred to throw away your old letters but I just can't do it

'Cause the more I try I die inside



La, la, la, la (The more I try)

La, la, la, la (The more I try)

La, la, la, la, la (The more I try)

The more I try, the more I die inside



I try to change the radio every time I hear our song

I tried to erase your number off my cell phone

I try to still be your friend but I ain't that strong

'Cause the more I try, the more I die inside



I walked away from you but somehow you still have my heart

And even though we've grown apart

I wish I could be where you are

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

I've tried to get you out of my mind

But it seems the more I try, the more I die



La, la, la, la (The more I try)

{I try, I try, I try}

La, la, la, la (The more I try)

{To get you out of my mind, baby}

La, la, la, la, la (The more I try)

{Oh, I miss you, boy, I miss you so}

The more I try, the more I die inside



I try to tell myself I should let your memory go

I try not to reminisce about you and just give up hope

I try to keep pretending that I'm really happy for you both

But the more I try, the more I die inside
