Lyrics

God Knows I Tried (Boustany)

Your picture fell out of a book the other day
I dusted it off, couldn't’ pull myself away
I thought, we could have been perfect if you’d only let me inside
God knows, I tried

It started to rain, there was something bout the sound
That echoed my pain and the fact you weren’t around
I know I said that I’d love you and never leave you behind well
God knows, I tried

A secret can tear you apart
Your lover can break your heart
Never said I was perfect or that I could read your mind
God knows, I tried

I really loved you, more than words can say
And we were so perfect in almost every single way
But I couldn’t help you to get to all the pain you felt inside
God knows, I tried

Do you feel better? Is everything ok?
Still deal with these questions almost every single day
Couldn’t help you to let go of the pain you felt inside
God knows I tried

A secret can tear you apart
Your lover can break your heart

Solo

A secret can tear you apart
Your lover can break your heart

Now I’ve boxed all the memories that were hanging on the wall
But the ones in my head haven’t faded at all
You know I wanted to love you till the stars fell from the sky
And God knows I tried
So don’t hate me for leaving, I always wanted to be your guy
God knows, I tried
God knows, I tried (outro)
