You Loved Me

I thought you wouldn't love me
if I didn't do everything right
So I lied to tell the truth and
hid myself most of all from you
Good was never perfect
perfect never could be
good enough for me
But I tried and I failed
And you loved me
Oh I tried and I failed
And you loved me
I had all the answers
that was easier
than facing the dark
And I sold my story
until the story
started falling apart
Every secret spoken
out there in the open
I've pretended not to see
And I tried and I failed
And you loved me
And I tried and I failed
And you loved me
I may never understand
why I walked so far away
I may never understand
what it is that makes you stay
When I try when I fail
And you love me
When I try and I fail
And you love me
And I try and I fail
And you love me
And I try and I fail
And you love me
