I Tried To Save You Lyrics by ​yung van

Past the Stars

2020

[Chorus: Yung Van]
I tried to save you
How could I know I was the one who needed saving
I said I loved you in your bed but I was faking
You showed your heart I showed mine back but it was vacant
We couldn’t make it
I tried to save you
You held me tight and you told me that we could make it
You told me that your love was strong, it was contagious
But when you held me I just couldn’t stop my shaking
I’m breaking
[Bridge: Dion dugas]
I’m breaking
I tried to save you
[Verse 1: Yung Van]
I’m on Mars and you’re down in the states
I needed space so I pushed you away
Never meant for you to feel this way
Never meant for you to feel ashamed
I’m on Mars and you’re walking the streets
All my friends say you’re back to your self
You weren’t wrong when you said I need help
You weren’t wrong when you said I need help
[Chorus: Yung Van]
I tried to save you
You held me tight and you told me that we could make it
You told me that your love was strong, it was contagious
But when you held me I just couldn’t stop my shaking
I’m breaking
[Bridge: Dion Dugas]
I’m breaking
I tried to save you
[Verse 2: Dion Dugas]
I’m steady falling
All around I see nothing in this apartment
Losing track of life fuck if it ever started
Dreams are all I see tell me can I divulge it
Pushed around I’m losing all my sense of pain
Clouded in this town Feel like my mind is going blank
Drifting side to side I hate the way that we became
Looking in the mirror
Let me take another drink
Writings on the wall
Cause you know I tried to save you
[Chorus: Yung Van]
I tried to save you
How could I know I was the one who needed saving
I said I loved you in your bed but I was faking
You showed your heart I showed mine back but it was vacant
We couldn’t make it
I tried to save you
You held me tight and you told me that we could make it
You told me that your love was strong, it was contagious
But when you held me I just couldn’t stop my shaking
I’m breaking
[Bridge: Dion Dugas]
I’m breaking
I tried to save you
