Lyrics I Try - Billie Ray Martin

I Try

I try to hold you
But I know I can’t win
I try to catch you
But you run time and time again yeah
I try to please you
With the things that I say
But when I speak your name
It sounds like a ball and chain because
Home’s not a place where
You can stay and grow small again no
You’ve got to move on
‘Cause home’s not a place at all
It’s not a place yeah mmm
I try to hold you
But I know I can’t win
I try to find your love
But you hide in a different place again
I try to please you
With the things that I say
But when I speak your name
Just sounds like a ball and chain because
Love is like a song
When it’s done
And the last notes have rung
All that’s left is silence
And that’s when you move on so
No reason for tears
No need for these chains
When one toy is broken
You find another game
And I try yeah
Oh yeah I try
Oh yeah
I try
Ooh baby I try
Yeah
