I was hoping and she interrupts me to say hope is my favorite word
I was kinda hoping, hoping someone would stop me I didn’t think anyone could
And I feel broken I didn’t expect this I thought the moment would slide
It comes like an ocean rollin' over the desert and now they can’t say I ain’t tried
I tried I tried
Kiss me on the brow I never do anything right
I tried forgive me God but I tried I’m going to give up for now
I’m gonna try and get some sleep tonight
Say I was thinking and she begs to differ
So I smile and turn my thoughts to the floor
Says you’ve been drinking and I know your temper
Well honey, I don’t feel drunk anymore
So I’ve been thinking how we don’t belong here
There’s a whole world around us you and me could set out to find
Shakes her head says you're mistaken ain’t nothin out there
Well I guess they can’t blame me for trying
I tried I tried
Kiss me on the brow I never do anything right
I tried forgive me God but I tried I’m going to give up for now
I’m gonna try and get some sleep tonight
I tried I tried
Kiss me on the brow I never do anything right (Oh Lord I tried)
I tried forgive me God but I tried I’m going to give up for now
I’m gonna try and get some sleep tonight
