Brandy
I Tried
[Verse 1]
I'm sittin' home on a cold day
Underneath the covers like a little baby
I think I wanna hear some Coldplay
Especially that song when that man says:
"Did I drive you away? (Yeah)
I know what you'll say"
Ooh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

[Pre-Chorus]
What you do when you're gone (What you do)
And I knew all along (I knew)
But they say people change
So I turn and look the other way

[Chorus]
I tried to be blind to your game (Tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Oh)
I should've left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around (When you)
I tried to be blind to your game (Yeah, yeah)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Ooh, I knew, oh)
I should've left your side in the first place (Should've)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around
[Verse 2]
All I can see is your old face
Giving my love away at some woman's place
Maybe I should I get up and go wash my face
Cryin' never kept you at home anyway
Did I drive you away? (No, I didn't but you said it)
I know what you're saying
Ooh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

[Pre-Chorus]
What you do when you're gone (What you do when you're gone)
And I knew all along (I knew all along)
But they say people change (Say people change)
So I (So I) turned and looked the other way

[Chorus]
I tried to be blind to your game (Tried to be blind, yeah)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Deep down I knew inside, oh)
I should have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around (I tried)
I tried to be blind to your game (I tried to be blind)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (But I knew it)
I should've left your side in the first place (Oh)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around
[Bridge]
I noticed it
The calls you get
Leavin' the room and sh—
And I knew you had a bitch
And I hated it
That's what I get (Ooh)
I noticed it
The calls you get
Leavin' the room and sh..
And I knew you had a bitch
And I hated it (Yeah)
That's what I get

[Chorus]
(What ya doing to me, baby)
I tried to be blind to your game (oh)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Deep down)
I should have left your side in the first place (Oh, I should've left your side)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around (Oh)
I tried to be blind to your game (Yes I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Ooh, I knew)
I should have left your side in the first place (Oh)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around
(Yeah, thought I'd be cool)
[Chorus]
I tried to be blind to your game (Yeah yeah yeah)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Ooh)
I should have left your side in the first place (Yeah yeah yeah)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around (oh)
I tried to be blind to your game (Oh, oh, I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around (Ooh, I knew)
I should have left your side in the first place (Ooh)
But I thought I'd be cool when you would be around

[Outro]
I thought I'd be cool
I thought I'd be cool
I thought I'd be cool
