We Tried by STVN Lyrics

I was nineteen when I met you
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
What in the world was I thinking
Thinking that you'd fall for me

So I bought this guitar
And I wrote you a song
You were speechless for minutes
Thought I did something wrong

You said you were nervous
But you'd give it a whirl
You'd be my baby
You'd be my girl

So we went on our first date
A hike at the rock
Held your hand for the first time
Felt like all time had stopped

And then on my birthday
You called all of my friends
Invited them over
Surprised me with them
I was speechless for minutes
Cause it meant the world
To feel this much love
To call you my girl

But then came September
We talked on the phone
A new job in New England
Was calling you home

You wished it was closer
By the tone of your voice
I knew it was over
And you'd made your choice

We cried for a moment
And said our goodbyes
But I know it was worth it
To know that we tried

We tried
We tried
We tried

Cause I was nineteen when I met you
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
I guess nothings changed
I'm sure you can see
I'm hoping you hear this
I'm hoping you know
That I'm better because of you
I'm okay on my own

I cherished the moments
For a blink of an eye
My heart my be broken
But I'm thankful we tried

We tried
We tried
We tried
I'm thankful we tried
