I'm tired of fighting
Got a fever when you tried to get out
I've tried but I can't understand what all the fuss is about
I wish that I could be the man that you wanted me to be
I need you to see

I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
My soul full of pain when you cry
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do just tears your heart in two
I wonder why

I never thought that being lovers mneat that we can't be friends
If only I could understand what makes you feel it's the end
What can I say to make you stay and stop breaking free from me
I need you to see

I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
My soul full of pain when you cry
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do just tears your heart in two
I wonder why

Can't you see it's killing me
It's not the way things used to be
Can you remember yesterdays
We used to smile without a care
Whenever you and I were near
Can't you see

I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
My soul full of pain when you cry
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do just tears your heart in two
I wonder why
