[Chorus 1]
I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
That you would be back (You would be back)
I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
That you would be back (You would be back)

[Verse 1]
Oh, though you said you would
I only wish you could
I know I'm trying to be someone

[Chorus 2]
Say I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
You've gotta do right (You've gotta do right)
Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried
I really tired to sleep at night (Sleep at night)

[Bridge]
Before the break of day, yeah
Turning another page, yeah, into life's mystery
In the light of day, I cannot hear you say
Honey, take this trip with me to eternity

[Chorus 3]
Oh, I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
You need a friend (You need a friend)
Oh and as soon as I wake up and the sun begin to shine
I started to rain (Started to rain)
[Verse 2]
I see you finally made it
All the time you waited
I could be with you

[Verse 3]
I see you finally made it
All the time you waited
Now I wanna be with you, oh yeah

[Chorus 4]
I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
I don't wanna ever leave you
I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me all alone

[Chorus 5]
I tried to tell myself
I never want you to ever leave me away
I tried to tell myself, I tried to tell myself
I don't want you to ever leave me all alone
