Tryin’ to Try
Throwed a rock through your window
Just to let you know I love you
Just to let you know I care
And I ain't scared to have you see how I feel

I blowed a kiss through your keyhole
Just to let you know I'm breathin'
Just to try and smack you in the heart
If I was smart, I'd give up and go back home

Well, I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry
I'm tryin' to say I love you
I'm not tryin' to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it
I'm not sayin' I can change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try

I was hidin' by the back porch
Just to try and catch you leavin'
Just to try and catch you unaware
That ain't fair, but I don't care 'cause I ain't proud

And I leaned on your doorbell
Just to see if you would answer
Just to see if you would open up
No such luck, I'll come back when you calm down
I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry
I'm tryin' to say I love you
I'm not tryin' to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it
I'm not sayin' I can change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try

I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry
I'm tryin' to say I love you
I'm not tryin' to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it
I'm not sayin' I can change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try
