I Try


I try to get your attention by doing little things 
Sometimes you are so oblivious I just want to scream 
And it doesn’t matter how hard and hard I try 
I just can’t help but talk to you and see a little twinkle in your eyes 

I try not to be jealous when I give you advice about another girl 
Even though I am dieing to tell you that I could be that girl 
But I just sit there and lie to myself day by day by day 
Even though I know the way I feel won’t go away 

I try not to stare when I see you coming toward me 
But I blush inside because I know you always see me 
And I try my best to keep my composure 
So I’ll say something nervously while tugging on my shirt 

I try not to tell you how I feel about you 
But that is all I really want to do 
I try and I try and I try to keep the truth from you 
But I guess the real truth is I love you
