I can't help it cause you're cryin' over time

So don't blame me if you're about to lose your mind

There's no place left in my heart for you to hide

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried

Once I tried to be the girl you wanted me to be

Once I tried to make you happy but you wanted to be free

Now I know my heart will never ever let you back inside

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried

[ guitar ]

I put new locks on all my doors today

Cause I heard the you were coming back this way

Since your new love found the better ways to fly

You think I love you like I loved you when I tried

Once I tried to be the girl...

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried
