I didn't know what the future would bring
Call me naive, maybe you did I wasn't listening
They say love is blind
My eyes could not protect me from the warning signs
I never thought that this could be a mistake
Things were going well and the loving was great
Say oh oh oh honey, oh oh oh
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
Until you quickly became another face in the crowd
Maybe I shouldn't have left and I'm regretting it now
I'll never forget the way you looked in my eyes
Maybe I took you for granted and now the fault is all mine
I never wanted this to be a stupid mistake
I wanted you to love me till the end of our days
But now I just don't give a fuck
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
I don't want to feel this pain from this brutal game
It sends me insane
And I don't wanna be the one to give up
But I can tell we've both had enough
God knows I've tried
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
God knows I've tried so hard
To be right on top and keep us apart
