I blew out all my plans The world fell in my hands The day that I began Trying to love you The secrets I have kept The nights I haven't slept I've laughed until I've wept Trying to love you Trying to love you No one's come as close or gone so far Trying to love you I've lost and found myself in who you are Trying to love you So easy and so hard Trying to love you I've watched myself get stuck I've squandered all my luck I've almost given up Trying to love you Trying to love you It broke my heart It's chipped away my pride Trying to love you Every time I'd see that fault line slide Trying to love you I've crossed the great divide Trying to love you Trying to love you I've screamed your name I've slammed a thousand doors Trying to love you And I've worn a million miles across the floor Trying to love you Still I could not ignore Trying to love you It's pulled the best from me For all the world to see I guess I'll always be Trying to love you
