I try to be happy, boy, since you've found love elsewhere I try to move on and pretend like I don't care I try to get you out of my head, baby boy, I swear But the more I try the more I die inside I try to not look when I see you out hanging with her I try to be cool and...seeing ya'll don't hurt I try to fake a smile but sometimes that don't work 'Cause the more I try I die inside I try to keep going like everything's still all good I try to stop myself from driving by your neighborhood And I tred to throw away your old letters but I just can't do it 'Cause the more I try I die inside La, la, la, la (The more I try) La, la, la, la (The more I try) La, la, la, la, la (The more I try) The more I try, the more I die inside I try to change the radio every time I hear our song I tried to erase your number off my cell phone I try to still be your friend but I ain't that strong 'Cause the more I try, the more I die inside I walked away from you but somehow you still have my heart And even though we've grown apart I wish I could be where you are I've tried, I've tried, I've tried I've tried to get you out of my mind But it seems the more I try, the more I die La, la, la, la (The more I try) {I try, I try, I try} La, la, la, la (The more I try) {To get you out of my mind, baby} La, la, la, la, la (The more I try) {Oh, I miss you, boy, I miss you so} The more I try, the more I die inside I try to tell myself I should let your memory go I try not to reminisce about you and just give up hope I try to keep pretending that I'm really happy for you both But the more I try, the more I die inside
