Macy Gray - I Try

Hmmmm…I don’t really know what to say about this post. This is a song that I love in all of its raw glory. I think my favorite thing about this song is that it gives you a peek into that place of weakness that all of us have. I remember when I was a teenager, I SWEAR that the guy I had a crush on was the only guy I’d ever truly “love”. And I would wear the shit outta this song.

I need you. Love me love me love me. 

Then another boy came along. And another. And another. And guess what…I realized that it wasn’t really all that crucial. And that I would have crushes on LOTS of boys. And I’d get over most of them pretty damn quickly.

Interestingly, the older I became the more weight this song carried with me. Imagine truly finding that person that you just can’t get outta your system. Kinda like Ed. I don’t know about you, but Macy sold me! And I’m sure Ed would have enjoyed it as well. Enjoy.

Macy Gray - I Try

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 dreamin of you 
I’ll keep it cool but I’m fiendin. 
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 alright and smile when you leave 
But my smiles are just a front 
I play it off but I’m dreamin of you 
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiendin 
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 possesion 
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 im dreamin of you 
I’ll keep my cool but I’m fiendin 
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
