Try
Nelly Furtado · The Best of Nelly Furtado [2010]
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives though I'm not old
And the more I see the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me a
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be but all I can do is try
Oh
Try
Try
Try
All of the moments that already passed
(Already passed)
We'll try to go back and make them last
(Make them last)
All of the things we want each other to be
(Each other to be)
We never will be
And that's wonderful
And that's life
And that's you baby
This is me baby
And we are
We are
We are
We are
We are
We are free in our love
We are free in our love
