Some things last, and some things end
Some things start to play pretend
Some lovers shape-shift into friends
Didn't happen for me and you
I wasn't made to use my hands
Not smart enough to make good plans
Not tall enough to take a stand
No, I was made for you
And I tried, I tried
I tried and tried to make you love me
Wasn't that big of me?
Then I lied, I lied
I lied and lied
And then you were happy
Sometimes I think about that place
When I first saw your gorgeous face
And I saw your side, and took my place
And all my dreams came true
And the fates aligned to see
You careering into me
But who knows how I'm gonna set you free
'Cause I can't keep failing you
And I tried, I tried
I tried and tried to make you love me
Wasn't that big of me?
Then I lied, I lied
I lied and lied
And then you were happy
I keep a clip that held your hair
In my car, because you left it there
And I can't bring myself to make the tear
Oh, please, don't make me choose
Between the hard place and the rock
Between the sea and the dock
Between the ticking of a clock
Where I haven't got time to lose
And I tried, I tried
I tried and tried to make you love me
Wasn't that big of me?
Then I lied, I lied
I lied and lied
And then you were happy
And I tried, I tried
I tried and tried to make you love me
Wasn't that big of me?
Then I lied, I lied
I lied and lied
Life is such a funny thing
It flights the bee, and lets it sting
And kills it for the offering
And flight turns into fall
But please don't think my message curt
That love, to be love, has to hurt
Life may begin and end in dirt
But love can save us all
