I Tried So Hard (Vocal Remix Unplugged)

[Verse 1] I kept your chair by the door Like you might walk back in Left my phone face down So it wouldn’t ring again I learned your laugh by heart Then watched it fade to gray Made excuses for the cracks Till they split the whole thing [Pre-Chorus] I stayed up with the doubt Held it like a prayer Told myself one more night Might bring you back there But the closer I got The further you went [Chorus] I tried so hard To keep you near I tried so hard But you disappeared I gave you my all You gave me a scar I tried so hard I tried so hard [Verse 2] Your hoodie on my floor Still smells like summer rain Your name on my tongue Still tastes like blame I changed my plans for us You changed your mind Now the house sounds too big And the clocks won’t lie [Pre-Chorus] I stayed up with the doubt Held it like a prayer Told myself one more night Might bring you back there But the closer I got The further you went [Chorus] I tried so hard To keep you near I tried so hard But you disappeared I gave you my all You gave me a scar I tried so hard I tried so hard [Bridge] If love was enough We’d still be standing If tears could patch it up I’d still be mending But I can’t chase smoke And call it home I loved you deep Now I let you go [Final Chorus] I tried so hard To keep you near I tried so hard But you disappeared I gave you my all You gave me a scar I tried so hard I tried so hard I tried so hard Now I’m letting go I tried so hard And you’ll never know
