I Didn’t Try

I Didn’t Try

As we took the hill

the moon was high

we sunk our hearts

with the dying light

we bid farewell

on a streetlit stage

but every word

was sung in vain

If this meant something

different to you

I’ll never understand

I never understood

I thought love was one size fits all

I’m a fool to have thought this could go on

If it’s time you want

you can have it

if it’s something stronger

than habit

if it’s love you need 

go and find it

just don’t tell me I didn’t try

to love you right 

Then we walked along

the darkened streets

I could hear you talk

but I couldn’t speak

you told me about

your broken home

I  tried to understand

but I don’t

If this means something

different to you

how can I understand

what I never understood

I thought love was one size fits all 

but I’m proven wrong, I’m proven wrong 

If it’s time you want

you can have it

if it’s something stronger

than habit

if it’s love you need 

go and find it

Just don’t tell me I didn’t try 

And if it hurts to laugh

give it time babe

its a funny place

that we’re found in

but if it’s love you want 

you should have it

just don’t tell me I didn’t try

just don’t tell me I didn’t try
