I NEVER TRIED

You once belonged to me,
But now you’ve gone away,
And I just don’t know why
I never tried to make you stay.
I guess I understood
Just how you felt inside.
You asked me not to make you stay,
And girl, you know I never tried.

I wish you’d felt for me
The way I felt for you,
But you just couldn’t find
The love that was inside of you.
I wish there was some way
To help you find your love.
I could have helped you love me more,
And yet I guess I never tried.
