I Try

Macy Gray · The Very Best Of Macy Gray [2004]

Games, changes and fears

When will they go from here

When will they stop

I believe that faith

Has brought us here

And we should be together, babe

But we're not



I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning



[chorus]

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

I may seem alright and smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front, just a front



I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning



[chorus]

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



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

I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning



[chorus]

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
