I Tried

I watch the sunset fade on promises I made
Promises and good intentions lost along the way
I know I hurt you bad, and I blame myself for that
I blame myself, but that won’t change a thing
I tried, I tried, I tried
To love the best I could
Love you like I said I would
Like I said I would
There’s nothing I can do to make this right with you
I know you don’t forgive me and I don’t expect you to
But, I’m sorry anyway; I’m sorry every day
Sorry’s nothing, nothing new
I tried, I tried, I tried
To love the best I could
Love you like I said I would
Like I said I would
A little distance, that’s all I need
A few more hours, a few more miles
And I’ll forget you meant the world to me
Yeah, I tried, I tried, I tried
To love the best I could
Love you like I said I would
Like I said I would
Like I said I would
