Macy Gray - I Try (Stripped) lyrics

[Verse 1] Games, changes and fears When will they go from here? When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe But we're not [Pre-Chorus] I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool but I'm fiending [Chorus] I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near [Verse 2] I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front [Pre-Chorus] I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool but I'm fiending [Chorus] I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near [Bridge] Here is my confession May I be your possession? Boy I need your touch Your love, kisses, and such With all my might, I try But this I can't deny Deny [Pre-Chorus] I play it off but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool but I'm fiending [Chorus] I try to say good bye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near [Chorus] I try to say good bye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
