I'm tired of fighting
Got a fever when you try to get out
(Oh, Oh, Oh)
I've tried but I can't understand what all the fuss is about
Oh No
I wish that I could be the man you wanted me to be.

I need you to see
I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
(You know I try)
My soul full of pain when you cry
(When you cry, baby, When you cry)
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do, just tears your heart in two

I wonder why

I never thought that being lovers meant that we can't be friends
If only I could understand what makes you feel it's the end
What can I say to make you stay?
And stop breaking free, from me
I need you to see..

That I
I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
(You know I try)
My soul full of pain when you cry
(When you cry, When you cry, baby, When you cry)
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do
(Everything I do)
Just tears your heart in two.

I wonder why

Can't you see it's killing me
It's not the way things used to be
Can you remember yesterday?
(Yesterday we used to smile)
We used to smile without a care
Whenever you and I were near

Oh, Oh, Oh. Everything I do, tears your heart in two.
I, try and try
I try and I try yet I can't seem to fly
(You know I try, my soul)
My soul full of pain when you cry
(When you cry, Baby, When you cry)
I wish I was perfect and God knows I try
But everything I do, just tears your heart in two
I wonder why

I try and I try
(Oh, Oh)
Yet I can't seem to fly
(I can't seem to fly)
My soul full of pain when you cry
(When you cry, baby, When you cry, I wish)
I wish I was perfect and God knows
(God knows)
I try
(God knows I try)
But everything I do
(I do)
Just tears your heart in two
(In two)

I wonder why

I try and I try
(Wonder, Wonder, Why, baby)
Yet I can't seem to fly
My soul full of pain when you cry
(When you cry, baby, When you cry)
I wish
(I wish I was perfect)
I was perfect and God knows I try
