(Beth Nielsen Chapman/Bill Lloyd)

I blew out all my plans
The world fell in my hands
The day that I began
Trying to love you

The secrets I have kept
The nights I haven't slept
I've laughed until I've wept
Trying to love you

Trying to love youNo one's come as close or gone so far
Trying to love youI've lost and found myself in who you are
Trying to love youSo easy and so hard, trying to love you

I've watched myself get stuck
Squandered all my luck
But I cannot give up
Trying to love you

Trying to love youIt broke my heart, it's chipped away my pride
Trying to love youEverytime I'd see that faultline slide
Trying to love youI've crossed the great divide trying to love you

instrumental

Trying to love youI've screamed your name, I've slammed a thousand doors
Trying to love youI've worn a million miles across the floor
Trying to love youStill I could not ignore trying to love you

It's pulled the best from me
For all the world to see
And I will always be
Trying to love you
