It wasn't what you said
It's knowin' what you mean
You want to 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
