Even If I Tried - Ray Boudreaux

Now I know just how you feel, it was real When I broke your heart Now I know just why you cried when I lied And I broke your heart Now I know just how you feel And I know that it is real Now I know just why you cried When I lied, I lied, I lied But I want it understood, when it was It was very good And I would not trade away, not a day Even if I could Now I know just how you feel And I know that it is real And now you know just why I cried When she lied, she lied, she lied But I want it understood, when it was It was very good And I would not trade away, not a day No, not an hour of the day Though she's left and gone away Even if I could, even if I could

I'm on the brink I can barely think With all of these thoughts Running through my head Wonderin' if I did you wrong No way, I did you wrong Every night, I try to justify All the angry things I said Oh, but I can't take 'em back No, I can't do that I was wrong, oh but now you're gone And I can't hide what I feel inside And just stop lovin' you Even if I wanted to I can't hold on But lettin' go Is something I can't do, is something I can't do Even if I wanted to All the times I sat and watched you cry When I should have held you close Made sure that you know How much I cared But I was never there I was wrong And now you've moved on I can't hide what I feel inside And just stop lovin' you Even if I wanted to I can't hold on But lettin' go Is something I can't do, is something I can't do Even if I wanted to Even if I wanted to I can't hide what I feel inside And just stop lovin' you Even if I wanted to I can't hold on But lettin' go Is something I can't do, is something I can't do Even if I wanted to Even if I wanted to

Why don't we feel the fire Like we did the very first time Where's that smile I used to see Why don't we, why don't we Why don't we act like lovers Spend days wrapped up in covers Those nights didn't get much sleep Why don't we why don't we Take some time The worlds too fast Slow it down and take a step back I don't wanna waste another day Watching what we had, slowly fade away A love, like ours was a meant to last a lifetime So why don't we try Why don't I hold you closer Why don't you let me in Why don't we do all the little things Why don't we, why don't we Turn around don't give up so fast It's gonna take some time to get it back (get it back) I don't want to waste another day Watching, what we had slowly fade away A love like ours was meant to last a lifetime Ooooooo So why don't we try Why don't we try A love like ours was meant to last a lifetime Lifetime A love like ours was meant to last a lifetime So why don't we try Mmmmmmm
