Lyrics

I Tried

[Verse 1]

I got everything laid in front of me

But I got held up on the ride

You were standing there showing me

Just how I could be yours if I tried, tried

'Cause I got thrown off on the road

I messed up when I was down

[Chorus]

Give me a chance to grow

Give me a chance to be better

Give me a chance to grow

'Cause I want to show you

That inside there's something

[Verse 2]

I don't want to be wasting all your time

I know I have more to show

Morning comes too fast, I was here too late

Change was waiting and won't go, go

'Cause I got thrown off on the road

I messed up when I was down

[Chorus]

Give me a chance to grow

Give me a chance to be better

Give me a chance to grow

'Cause I want to show you

That inside there's something more

[Bridge]

You know I tried

You know I tried

It's all the time

[Chorus]

Give me a chance to grow

Give me a chance to be better

Give me a chance to grow

'Cause I want to show you

That inside there's something more

I want to show you

That inside there's something more

I want to show you
