Once I Tried Lyrics - Kitty Wells

I can't help it cause you're cryin' over time 

So don't blame me if you're about to lose your mind 

There's no place left in my heart for you to hide 

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried 

Once I tried to be the girl you wanted me to be 

Once I tried to make you happy but you wanted to be free 

Now I know my heart will never ever let you back inside 

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried 

[ guitar ] 

I put new locks on all my doors today 

Cause I heard the you were coming back this way 

Since your new love found the better ways to fly 

You think I love you like I loved you when I tried 

Once I tried to be the girl... 

Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried
