I Tried Poem by Keith Young

I Tried

I have been there for you
I cried many nights
Without you I hurt
I Tried
I gave you my all
I even went to see you
I was willing to give up everything for you
I was willing to start a new life with you by my side
I Tried
I even told you how much you mean to me
I told you everyday that I love you
I Tried
I gave you my heart
Why did you hurt me so bad?
What did I do?
Why did I try?
I gave my all to be with you
All to end for what?
I Tried
I will never forget you
You stole my heart
You kidnapped my soul
Your holding it all hostage
I will do anything for it back
I cry inside
I fell like I am not alive inside
Please love me
I’m tired of trying
I’m just plan tired
I Tried
I am giving up
