I Try - Macy Gray



Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But we're not
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin.
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front (just a front)
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May I be your possesion
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny (deny)
I play it off but im dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say good bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Yanie's Version
Love was broken
sadness has sanked in
I have to walk away
but I always stumble
I hid the pain
Yes, even tried to smile
I have to walk away
But you're always on my mind
I may have choked and stumbled
But I did walk away...
I still have my cool
And now I'm no longer hiding
Your kisses nor your touch
I'm no longer longing
The world has really crumbled
When you were not near
I guess it's just time
to uncover my front smile
and turn the world upside down
and make you start fiendin'

I like the song and liking your version too...

I like how you have not deviated from the lyrics and what makes it even better was that... after reading the last line... it makes you wanna go back to singing Macy's song!!!

cool!
