I Tried

[Verse 1]

I tried to hold my breath inside,
Hoping time would slow somehow.
Maybe this moment could last forever...
I tried.

I tried to dream throughout the night,
Hoping you'd be there with me.
Hoping you'd never let me go...
I tried.

[Chorus]

There aren't enough stars in the sky,
Or treasures anywhere in this world.
Nothing could ever be enough,
If I have you.

The sun no longer shines as bright,
The moon can't light the darkest night.
Every color fades away...
If I lose you.

[Verse 2]

I tried to scream out loud enough,
Hoping you'd hear my desperate cries.
Hoping they'd reach you louder every time...
I tried.

I tried to disappear in the dark,
Hoping you'd reach and hold my hand.
Hold it tight and never let it go...
I tried.

[Chorus]

There aren't enough stars in the sky,
Or treasures anywhere in this world.
Nothing could ever be enough,
If I have you.

The sun no longer shines as bright,
The moon can't light the darkest night.
Every color fades away...
If I lose you.

[Bridge]

I tried not to look your way,
Or feel the way you changed my soul.
I tried not to think of you
Through another sleepless night.

I tried to tear you from my mind,
Before you found your way into my heart.
Then I tried to tear you from my heart,
Before you found your way back into my mind.

[Final Chorus - emotional ending]

I don't need the stars above,
I don't need a single treasure.
If you're here with me.
The sun and moon still light the sky,
The whole world shines again...
If you stay with me.
