At Least I Tried

Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1992 - 2025 Please check out my YouTube channel if you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I can’t find the words to tell you the way That I feel whenever you’re near. I try so hard to find the words but Whenever I do, then you disappear. I’m wanting so much to tell you That I’m in love with everything that you do, But all my words seem inadequate Whenever I get ready to speak to you. [Chorus] I'm going to try to let you know How much I hate to watch you go. I’ve kept it in for far too long. Hiding these feelings seems so wrong, But if our love’s not meant to be, You’ll always mean the world to me. If you don’t feel the same inside, Then I can say at least I tried. [Verse 2] Perhaps someday I won’t be feeling So insecure, then I’ll let you know How much I long to hold you in my arms, But ‘til then, I’ll just watch you go. I keep hoping there’ll come a day When I can get up the courage to say I really need you to be with me. Maybe then I can convince you to stay. [Chorus] I'm going to try to let you know How much I hate to watch you go. I’ve kept it in for far too long. Hiding these feelings seems so wrong, But if our love’s not meant to be, You’ll always mean the world to me. If you don’t feel the same inside, Then I can say at least I tried. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] I want so much to take you into my arms So that I can hold you real tight. Yet I’m afraid that you will just pull away And say that I’m not your type. I guess maybe it’s time I decide To take my chances with you, and besides, Even if you should tell me no. At least I can tell myself I tried. [Chorus] I'm going to try to let you know How much I hate to watch you go. I’ve kept it in for far too long. Hiding these feelings seems so wrong, But if our love’s not meant to be, You’ll always mean the world to me. If you don’t feel the same inside, Then I can say at least I tried. [Instrumental Outro]
