When you were gone
The world, it thought that I was wrong
It never knew what I'd been through
Tryin' to keep you
I never had the best
I always only got what was left
And I was always there behind the rest
Tryin'
Take these arms
And help them close more cautiously
Take this heart
And let it stay free
And take this woman
And give her strength to go on
Tryin'
And you know somehow
Even though I can't have you now
I keep tryin' anyhow
Tryin' to forget you
Take these arms
And help them close more cautiously
Take this heart
And let it stay free
And take this woman
And give her strength to go on
Tryin'
Take this woman
And give her strength to go on
Tryin'
