let me try

Wish I could tell you what's been going through my head

I guess that I'm broken or maybe I'm just not ready yet

They say to your head you'll get better when you're older

But I'm not so sure

Everything I love seems to leave me, don't want it anymore

So please don't think it's 'cause I'm leaving

I'm simply working on believing

I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

But all I ask is that you let me try

And you can hear every single thought coursing through my veins

And in my eyes it's easy to tell that I'm in pain

I'm trying so hard to just say the right thing

If such a right thing even exists

And if what all I've said so far is the wrong thing

I guess that I can't resist

So please don't take this as me lying

I'm just so goddamn sick of goodbyeing

I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

And all I ask is that you let me try

Let me try (let me try, try, try, try, try)

You and I will never be prepared for what's to come

And I'm afraid that what I'll say will only make you run

But no amount of honesty could wipe away the love I have for you

That's true

'Cause I know we've got something real here

And I need to know you'll still be here

I'm gonna love you for the longest time

And all I ask is that you let me try

Let me try (let me try, try, try, try, try)
