mmmmmmm mmmmmm
[Verse]
Dm A#
I'll choose each word carefully
E#
Because I need to write it down
C
I know you've never lied to me
Dm
And deserve to know what's in my mind
(Dm) A#
My turn to tell you what I think
E#
Listen to what I'm singing
C
All of the lines I'm gonna write
Dm
Are silently blasting in my mind
[Chorus]
(Dm) A#
We tried, I failed
E#
Even if I can't give you
C
What you want, I want you to know
Dm
That I'll ever ever love you
(Dm) A#
We tried, I failed
E#
I perfectly know that I hurt you
C
All those tears were my shame
Dm
But I'll ever ever love you
Dm A# E# C Dm
But I'll ever ever love you
(Dm) A# E# C
[Verse]
Dm A#
When we first kissed, I was lost
E#
I'm not saying I didn't want
C
But now I know how I hurt you
Dm
I can't help thinking that I did wrong
(Dm) A#
Maybe I was afraid, not to satisfy
E#
All of the hopes you put on me
C
Now I know how delicate
Dm
What I asked you turned out to be
[Chorus]
(Dm) A#
We tried, I failed
E#
Even if I can't give you
C
What you want, I want you to know
Dm
That I'll ever ever love you

We tried, I failed

I perfectly know that I hurt you

All those tears were my shame
