Ashley Cooke - ​tryin to love you Lyrics

You check every box and then some
The kind that every one of my friends want
That mamas love and daddies trust
With their hold world ridin' in a pickup
Yeah, you're everything I pray for
The type they say it's so worth the wait for
Old soul eyes, that tell no lies
So I, I don't know why

Tryin' to love you
Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk
As bad as I want to let my heart let go, damn, it just won't
It ain't your fault, it's hard to start a fire
When you can't make one spark fly
The trouble with tryin' to love you is I
I shouldn't have to try
(Shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try)

As hard as it is to say it
I'm sure it's even harder to take it
You deserve more
Than a half open door
I don't wanna waste your time

Tryin' to love you
Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk
As bad as I want to let my heart let go, damn, it just won't
It ain't your fault, it's hard to start a fire
When you can't make one spark fly
The trouble with tryin' to love you is I
I shouldn't have to try
(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)
I shouldn't have to try
(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)

Wish I could put a finger on it
Feels like something's missing don't it
Falling's supposed to feel like flyin'
Ain't supposed to feel like tryin'

To love you
(Shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try)

Yeah, tryin' to love you
Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk (city sidewalk)
As bad as I want to let my heart let go, damn, it just won't
It ain't your fault, it's hard to start a fire
When you can't make one spark fly
The trouble with tryin' to love you is I
I shouldn't have to try
(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)
I shouldn't have to try
(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)
Oh, yeah
