When you were gone The world, it thought that I was wrong It never knew what I'd been through Tryin' to keep you I never had the best I always only got what was left And I was always there behind the rest Tryin' Take these arms And help them close more cautiously Take this heart And let it stay free And take this woman And give her strength to go on Tryin' And you know somehow Even though I can't have you now I keep tryin' anyhow Tryin' to forget you Take these arms And help them close more cautiously Take this heart And let it stay free And take this woman And give her strength to go on Tryin' Take this woman And give her strength to go on Tryin'
