I was out walking just the other day

I felt the need to take the long way home

Staring down at my feet in the city streets

Well I knew I had to let it go

 

Six flights of stairs to my apartment 

I think of the way it could have been

I threw in my hat, but you weren’t into that

So I guess nobody wins, nobody wins

 

Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy

Yeah I tried.  I tried to be the one.

These are the days girl I’m left so amazed

By the things you just let go

You let go, let go

 

And I’m so tired of waiting 

On that chance that you might drop in

I wonder each night if you might shine your light

But I know it ain’t happening

It ain’t happening

 

Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy

Yeah I tried.  I tried to be the one.

These are the days girl I’m left so amazed

By the things you just let go

You let go, let go

 

Maybe you don’t care

If I come around or if I am there

Well whatever. 

You should know that what I felt

I felt in the marrow of my bones 

 

Friday night in December

It was raining and I gave you my coat 

But once you were dry

Well you wouldn’t meet my eye

And I felt like I should just go

 

Cuz I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy

Yeah I tried.  I tried to be the one.

These are the days girl I’m left so amazed

By the things you just let go

Let go, let go

 

Yeah I tried and I tried to be the one who makes you happy

Yeah I tried.  I tried to be the one.

These are the days girl I’m left so amazed

By the things you just let go

Let go, you let go
