I Try

Macy Gray

Games, changes, and fears

When will they go from here?

When will they stop?

I believe that fate has brought us here

And we should be together, babe

But we’re not

I play it off but I’m dreaming of you

And I’ll keep my cool, but I’m feigning

I try to say goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free

But I’m just a prisoner of your love

And I may seem all right and smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front

Just a front, hey

I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you

And I’ll keep my cool but I’m feigning

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Goodbye and I choke (yeah)

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession

May I be your possession?

Boy I need your touch

Your love, kisses and such

With all my might I try

But this I can’t deny

Deny

I play it off but I’m dreaming of you

(But I’m dreaming of you, babe)

And I’ll keep my cool, but I’m feigning

I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)

I try to walk away and I stumble (oh)

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near (ahh)

Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, hey)

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear (say it Lord)

My world crumbles when you are not near (Lord, the Lord kisses us)

Goodbye and I choke (I’m choking)

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
