Macy Gray - I Try

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

And 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

[Verse 2]

I may appear to be free

But I'm just a prisoner of your love

And I may seem alright and smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front

Just a front, hey!

[Pre-Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

(But I'm dreaming of you, babe)

I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning

[Chorus]

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

Goodbye and I choke (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

I try to walk away and I stumble (Hey, yeah, yeah!)

Though I try to hide it, it's clear (Sick of love)

My world crumbles when you are not near (Love, your love, kisses ends)

Goodbye and I choke (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

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
