most beautiful thing i saw tonight
and the way that smile can paint the world so bright
well I've tried
I've tried

i don't know what to say to you right now
i wish i could just make it work somehow
and I've tried
I've tried

i can't explain, i feel i died inside
somewhere between where love and hurt collide
we were so close we were so far
you could have been my shining star

we all regret the times we just sat by
and allowed our precious time take wings and fly
but I've tried
I've tried

i know with you i could never try enough
and sometimes i chose to say some stupid stuff
but you know I've tried
I've tried

i can't explain, i feel i died inside
somewhere between where love and hurt collide
we were so close we were so far
you could have been my shining star

I'll tell you one more thing before i go
you know I'm gonna miss you so
cause I've tried
I've tried
I've tried
I've tried
