Macy Gray - I Try Lyrics
Official




Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey

And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses, and such
With all my might, I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
But I'm dreaming of you, babe
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, yeah)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear (sick of love)
My world crumbles when you are not near (love, your love, kisses ends)
Goodbye and I choke (goodbye and I choke, yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
