I was out walking just the other day
I felt the need to take the long way home
Staring down at my feet in the city streets
Well I knew I had to let it go
Six flights of stairs to my apartment
I think of the way it could have been
I threw in my hat, but you weren’t into that
So I guess nobody wins, nobody wins
Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy
Yeah I tried. I tried to be the one.
These are the days girl I’m left so amazed
By the things you just let go
You let go, let go
And I’m so tired of waiting
On that chance that you might drop in
I wonder each night if you might shine your light
But I know it ain’t happening
It ain’t happening
Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy
Yeah I tried. I tried to be the one.
These are the days girl I’m left so amazed
By the things you just let go
You let go, let go
Maybe you don’t care
If I come around or if I am there
Well whatever.
You should know that what I felt
I felt in the marrow of my bones
Friday night in December
It was raining and I gave you my coat
But once you were dry
Well you wouldn’t meet my eye
And I felt like I should just go
Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy
Yeah I tried. I tried to be the one.
These are the days girl I’m left so amazed
By the things you just let go
Let go, let go
Yeah I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy
Yeah I tried. I tried to be the one.
These are the days girl I’m left so amazed
By the things you just let go
Let go, you let go
