I Try Stripped by Macy Gray 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
