Tryin So Hard
Keri Hilson · Other Songs - Keri Hilson
Never expected it would take so much pretending
I ain't over you and that's a fact
I even threw away all the gifts you got me but in the
present I'm still wrapped up in the past
HOOK:
Anything that I ever do boy,
everything reminds me of you boy,
everywhere I go I see you boy,
just can't seem to shake you off.
..whenever I hear our song boy,
whenever I smell your Cologne boy,
it takes me back to our love and I can't escape you
CHORUS:
I been tryin so hard to get over you boy
It's hard to keep going on when you're still holding on
I been tryin so hard to get over you boy
It's obvious and it shows and I just can't let it go
I stay in my hive, time won't wash away
And though we're apart somehow you managed to stay
I been tryin so hard to get over you boy
VERSE 2:
driving down a boulevard and everytime I see a blue
BMW my heart jumps cause I think it's you
And when I'm grocery shipping I go down that aisle
and I see those chocolate coa-coa pebbles that you like
REPEAT HOOK AND CHORUS
VERSE 3:
our chapter is done but I can't seem to turn away
Made up my mind
Tried and tried boy but its taking way too long
trying to stay out of dodge
