I try to be happy, boy, since you've found love elsewhere
I try to move on and pretend like I don't care
I try to get you out of my head, baby boy, I swear
But the more I try the more I die inside

I try to not look when I see you out hanging with her
I try to be cool and...seeing ya'll don't hurt
I try to fake a smile but sometimes that don't work
'Cause the more I try I die inside

I try to keep going like everything's still all good
I try to stop myself from driving by your neighborhood
And I tred to throw away your old letters but I just can't do it
'Cause the more I try I die inside

La, la, la, la (The more I try)
La, la, la, la (The more I try)
La, la, la, la, la (The more I try)
The more I try, the more I die inside

I try to change the radio every time I hear our song
I tried to erase your number off my cell phone
I try to still be your friend but I ain't that strong
'Cause the more I try, the more I die inside

I walked away from you but somehow you still have my heart
And even though we've grown apart
I wish I could be where you are
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
I've tried to get you out of my mind
But it seems the more I try, the more I die

La, la, la, la (The more I try)
{I try, I try, I try}
La, la, la, la (The more I try)
{To get you out of my mind, baby}
La, la, la, la, la (The more I try)
{Oh, I miss you, boy, I miss you so}
The more I try, the more I die inside

I try to tell myself I should let your memory go
I try not to reminisce about you and just give up hope
I try to keep pretending that I'm really happy for you both
But the more I try, the more I die inside
