I’m really trying
I’m really trying
I’m really trying to give you up
I’m really trying
I’m really trying
I’m really trying to give you up
And all this stupid stuff
It gets too serious
Can’t we just try?
Can’t we just try?
I know I’m crazy but there ain’t no other way
When I get this feeling you can turn the other way
I know it’s difficult, it’s just another day
Why don’t you just
Why don’t you just
stay?
Baby, I’m not innocent
I’m running away from you
You’re really trying
You’re really trying
You’re really trying
But we don’t have time
With your hand on me, you taste me
You tell me that you’re aching, baby
I know I’m crazy but there ain’t no other way
When I get this feeling you can turn the other way
I know it’s difficult, it’s just another day
Why don’t you just
Why don’t you just
stay?
Baby, I’m not innocent
I’m running away from you
I keep showing up inside your dreams
I been trying to pick up the pieces when you leave
You keep running out that door away from me
Cause you know I’m not innocent, baby
Baby, I’m not innocent
I’m running away from you
