I try

by chris johnson

I try to help
Yet there’s nothing I can do
You want me to leave you alone
And just stop caring about you

I try to help
Yet you won't let me get through
I want you to know
I'll always care for you

I try to help
With the problems in your life
To get rid of all your pain
And get rid of all your strife

I try to help
And show you that I care
When all the while
You don't want me to be there

I try to help
And to keep what we have
While the whole time
I can't make you happy or laugh

I try to help
And love you with all my heart
But the things you’re saying
Make me wonder, why'd we start?

I try to help
And show you’re needed in my world
Not just as a good friend
But my treasure, my own pearl

I try to help
Yet I'm always pushed away
When I’ll just wonder
If everything is okay

I try to help
Even though you don’t want me to
I can’t help the way I feel
I do, and will always love you
