Guy Clark
Trying to Try
[Verse 1]
I threw 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 breathing
Just to try and smack you in the heart
If I was smart
I'd give up and go back home

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to say I'm sorry
I'm trying to say I love you
I'm not trying to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not trying to rearrange it
I'm not saying I can change it
The only thing I'm trying to do is try

[Verse 2]
I was hiding by the back porch
Just to try and catch you leaving
Just to try and catch you unaware
That ain't fair, but I don't care
'cause I ain't proud
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to say I'm sorry
I'm trying to say I love you
I'm not trying to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not trying to rearrange it
I'm not saying I can change it
The only thing I'm trying to do is try

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to say I'm sorry
I'm trying to say I love you
I'm not trying to make excuses
Nor set myself above you
I'm not trying to rearrange it
I'm not saying I can change it
The only thing I'm trying to do is try
