Interpol
I Know You Try
[Hook: Interpol]
I know you try
You try straight into my heart, You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart, but here comes the fall

You fly straight into my heart , you fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try (I know you try)
You try straight into my heart. You fly straight into my heart
You try straight into my heart. You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try (I know you try)
You try straight into my heart. You fly straight into my heart

[Verse 1]
And I knew you tried to get through to me
These past four years--yeah that's dependency
Could never ignite that flare; could never even care
To look me right in my eyes to tell me all your affairs
As humble as I was, how modest I learn to grow
I let you go; I let you know what the fuck you’re good for
You deserved better, now I know I should have never
Ignored all the clues because to me you did matter
The words I scribble down like a medical prescription
Fell more like a signature to this lifetime addiction
To enjoy the self-abuse of never having you
Told me you don’t love me; told me to get a clue
I waited for you always; you said I’d be okay
But you never came around; not even for a day
Instead you went MIA; made all the paper and flew in planes
You told me I needed help perhaps some therapy
Don’t be shocked if one day I go like MH370
I’ve had enough with suppression
I’m trying to cope with depression
That walk to the bridge; it only raises some questions
Like will I jump to safety for a girl or for my past?
Which still haunts me like words of Sylvia Plath
I could never get to you; could never truly hear you
And you'll say the same because we're on the same page
When you look at your friends and see that I wasn't there
Just know, it wasn’t personal it was life at its finest
Always deceptive and locking me inside of a closet
I’ve had enough of excuses on why you’re always elusive
So if I slip away don’t let it leave you astray
Maybe one day down the line we might be what we wanted
But that can only exist if life permits; no pun intended

[Hook: Interpol]
You fly straight into my heart, you try straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. (I know you try)
You fly straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart
You try straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. (I know you try)
You fly straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart

[Verse 2]
Look, I apologize for all the things you had to go through
Some days I think I see you when I walk your avenue
You assured my dreams weren’t crazy again and again
You knew me better than I know myself at 4:00 AM
I wondered why you came around when I saw myself a mess
I guess love in plain view is something I shouldn’t second guess
I won’t forget that day in March when I came to see you
Your eyes smiled before your lips; I felt my heart bloom
And then I saw you with him, what did you want me to do?
He kissed you with definition; left me to make a decision
It’s time I leave this place and time to find a better kind
It’s tough for me to process life in the place we reside
The world has brought me to my knees and it’ll do it again
I’m ready as ever to anchor off this useless endeavour
I don’t got much time but still my love is strong as Geppetto
You proved to me not all angels come genetically feathered
And if the going gets rough; i'll try not to build up repulse
In another universe you’ve got it all so much better
If you wonder why a fool like me is on top of a stage
Just look inside a mirror to find the reason I changed
I never gambled on your love by picking out flower petals
I never said I’d hate you even if we’re on different levels
I won’t commit my life to sitting on the side lines
Where I sit for days and days watching my dreams fade
So that’s it, I left, there was no one left here to impress
All the expensive attires will stitch my soul a sad liar
I’m a pioneer to the falls; it’s in my love to admire
The only thing I need I know will someday expire
Although I’m confident all of this is quite true
Even when I admit to being over you, you still...

You fly straight into my heart, you try straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. (I know you try)
You fly straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart
You try straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. (I know you try)
You fly straight into my heart, you fly straight into my heart

I know you try
You try straight into my heart, You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart, but here comes the fall
I know you try
You try straight into my heart, You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try. You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart, but here comes the fall
