I Tried - R. Kelly

Written by：R. Kelly

You shut down

When I'm trying to fix it

We both know the end result s**t

And we've both done our share of wrong dear

Wooh

You lock me out

Then you cast me to the underworld

Talk to me suddenly you

You're judging everything that I do

But you want me to be honest with you eh

But you ain't trying to be honest with me

So selfish

But despite everything

Despite everything yeah

I tried I tried eh

I tried I tried eh

I tried I tried eh

I tried I tried eh

But I can't but I can't

But I can't but I can't

But I can't but I can't

But I can't but I can't let you go

Oh no oh I can't oh no

Let you go

Oh no oh no oh no

Is this just a test of my strength

The way you

Come at me yeah

Point your finger how are we going to last

Huh

If we keep dwelling on the past

Owowoh

You say you're hurting

Well

I get frustrated too

But the bottom line is what do we do

I wish that you were in my shoes

We

But I want you to be honest with me

Sometimes I just can't be honest with you

So selfish

But despite everything

Despite everything yeah

Let's talk not scream

Chips fall down

We can get 'em right back up

Turn things around

Chairs gonna change our luck

Girl count your blessings

We can have it all right now

You ain't gotta question

My heart is where you are right now

Let's make love

Don't talk ok

But sometimes it's so hard for us to trust

So stubborn
