It wasn`t what you said 
It`s knowin` what you mean 
You wanna spread your wings and fly 
where the moment takes you off 
Tryin` hard to be , someone you ain`t 

It wasn`t how you laughed 
that taught me how to cry 
Convincin` me your heart is 
a million dreams away 
Tryin` hard to be , someone you ain`t 

You came along when I was down 
and found a place within me 
All the love I ever had can not 
replace the things you did 
I`m still in love with you and 
even though you`re gone 
I gotta try , gotta try , 
gotta try , gotta try 

Someday I`m gonna win 
and get back to your arms 
And here am I alone 
with a memory of you 
Tryin` hard to be , someone I ain`t 

We held it in , we gave it out 
There wasn`t any quarter 
All the pieces fell apart 
It still ain`t like it ought to be 
I`m still in love with you 
even though you`re gone 
I gotta try , gotta try , 
gotta try , gotta try 

You came along when I was down 
and found a place within me 
All the love I ever had can not 
replace the things you did 
I`m still in love with you 
even though you`re gone 
I gotta try , gotta try 
gotta try , gotta try 

We held it in , we gave it out 
There wasn`t any quarter 
All the pieces fell apart 
It still ain`t like it ought to be 
I`m still in love with you 
even though you`re gone 
I gotta try , gotta try , 
gotta try , gotta try (fade out)
