I love Macy Gray. She is such a crazy freak. And this song has been a favorite of mine for years. Seems to never lose its relevancy. This is what great pop songs are made of.
I Try
by Macy Gray
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
But we’re not
I play it off but I’m dreaming of you
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending
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
I may appear to be free
But I’m just a prisoner of your love
I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
I play it off but I’m dreaming of you
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending
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
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
I play it off but I’m dreaming of you
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiending
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
She's Crafty!
