Tried Lyrics

Treated you just like a queen

Too one-sided

Now I can see

Square one, posted

Mostly relieved

That it all went to waste

'Cause while I was on my hustle

You were on the gram

Stunting for some follows and likes

Could've done without the texting, stories and the tweets

Whining how you tried and you tried

Don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you put in just a little bit of effort

Don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you sacrifice a little bit of time

Told me your love wasn't fake

Shook at how bad those words have aged

When one day later

You went straight

Fully back in your ways

And this new boy you've been seeing

Looks like he could be

An extra out of Tiger King

Quality freaking human

Made fun of my ASD to try and get you to leave

Don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you put in just a little bit of effort

Don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you sacrifice a little bit of time

You can say it was never meant to be

At least that part is easy to believe

Just don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you put in just a little bit of effort

And you said you were afraid of being seen as the bad guy

Gee, I wonder why that would be

Those scarlet tinted lenses looking really cheap

But maybe your seven fans disagree

Don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you put in just a little bit of effort

Ain't worth it to cry

'Cause I don't want to have to waste any more of my own time

You can say it was never meant to be

At least that part is easy to believe

Just don't tell me you tried

'Cause that implies that you put in effort
