I Try Lyrics - Dusty Drake

Last night beneath the covers, 

I asked about your old lover. 

And were you seeing my face or his. 

You said, "The past is better left where it is." 

Then you turned your back with a sigh, 

And that solitary sigh said, "Goodbye." 

I try never to pry, 

I try never to pry, 

I try never to pry, 

And I'm never gonna pry again. 

This morning at the airport, 

As you were leaving my escort, 

I said, "Whatever's good for you 

Will be good for me, too. 

Our futures will be filled with smiles, 

Now, go get those frequent flier miles." 

I try never to lie, 

I try never to lie, 

I try never to lie, 

And I'm never gonna lie again. 

Tonight, I sit and pass the hours, 

Staring at the last dead flowers 

That are all I have left of you. 

Now, there's only one thing I can do 

On this hottest night in July, 

I keep wiping the sweat from my eyes. 

I try never to cry, 

I try never to cry, 

I try never to cry, 

And I'm never gonna cry again. 

I try never to pry, 

I try never to lie, 

I try never to cry, 

And I'm never gonna cry again.
