[Verse 1]
I tried to stop the tide
I tried but I can't hide
I tried to resist you
I tried to follow through

[Chorus]
I tried to let you go
I tried but I just want you more
I tried and tried to steal away
But you played on me
You played on me

[Verse 2]
I tried to pass the time
I tried to get you off my mind
I tried to become cold
I tried to tell you no

[Chorus]
I tried to let you go
I tried but I just want you more
I tried and tried to steal away
But you played on me
You played on me
[Verse 3]
I tried to look away
I tried not to see your face
I tried to forget you
I tried but it's just no use

[Chorus x 2]
I tried to let you go
I tried but I just want you more
I tried and tried to steal away
But you played on me
You played on me
