I Tried Lyrics by Sam Franklin

Okayish EP

2016

[Verse 1: Sam Franklin]
You and me should be together
That's just how it should go
I don't wanna live without you
I never want to let you go
I kinda thought we would last forever
I guess you thought differently
All I do is think about you
And I know you don't think about me
[Chorus: Sam Franklin]
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
[Verse 2: Christian James]
Why, oh why
Do I think these thoughts I'm thinkin'
These drinks I should be drinkin'
That always leave me spinnin'
And the sun shine leaves me squintin'
Oh my I need some lemonade
To temporarily make my day
Authority is what I hate most of all
I should be skippin' down the hall
To classroom 743
Where we make countless memories
And we swim through the deepest seas
And we count stars cause we believe
In love and peace
My soul is black
But you got bleach
[Chorus Extended: Sam Franklin]
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
But I tried
I tried so many times
But I can't seem to get fucked up enough
To get you off my mind
