lyrics

I wake up in this nightmare
And I see you standin' there
And I wonder how to get you back

I try to tell you how I feel
but it's never quite enough
Starting to think I'll never be just what you want

And I try to get you
Get you to try to love
And I try to want you
To want you back enough
For you to even notice
This never felt so wrong
I've never been this hopeless
And never been this strong

But I try I try I try
Whoa I try I try I try

So I leave this, try to forget this
I have to close my eyes to see
But I can't forget what we were

As I'm watching her dreams come true
I just exist in black and white
Is this someone else's life that I endure

And I try to get you
Get you to try to love
And I try to want you
To want you back enough
For you to even notice
This never felt so wrong
I've never been this hopeless
And never been this strong

But I try I try I try
Whoa I try I try I try

But I try I try I try
But everything I see is black and white
