I Try - Billie Ray Martin

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
