I Tried

You said you love me
Girl/boy, you were wrong
If you wanted this, you would've just come home
You said you needed me
Girl/boy, did you lie?
Tellin' me you miss me, but you won't drive by
I guess, misery loves misery
And I can't help no more
I can't save your soul
I didn't wanna let you go
It it's real now, come down, 'cause I can't tell no more
When you feel low
I didn't wanna let you go, but
I'm not your momma
Not your provider, your adviser
My heart was still pained from all that I should've said lighter
But I fight her
Baby, you thought I was older
If I was wiser
Then I would know
How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

'Cause I tried all the things
I provided the thoughts in my mind
That I hope was just lies
And I cared for you, baby
I swear I wanted to be there
So don't ask me how we fell apart
I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy, I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy, I really don't know

You took me, both our families, and so much love for granted
And it pains me that I had your back when I shouldn't have had it
And I shouldn't be mad
I shouldn't even be sad
'Cause honest I was told
Still I couldn't let you go, so
I lied to my momma, to save all the drama
That was shit in the past tha's why
You weren't even honest, till I bought it
Baby, if I was older
If I was wiser
Then I would know
How to have kept you, how to protect your mind

I tried all the things
I provided the thoughts in my mind
That I hope was just lies
And I cared for you, baby
I swear I wanted to be there
So don't ask me how we fell apart
I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy I really don't know
You have to tell me
Girl/boy I really don't know
I can't let you go
You said you needed me
