I Tried To Forget But Couldn't

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I packed away the things you left behind

Photographs and folded notes

I learned a different route to work

Still I trace you home

Instrumental Interlude

Verse 2

I told myself the space would fix me

Told myself the ache would pass

Every evening when the lamps go dim

Your voice is all I have

Chorus

I tried to let you go

I tried to let you go

I buried all we built

And still it hurts me so

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 3

I moved across a county line

Hoping that the miles would stick

But I keep your sweater in a drawer

And I fold it when I'm sick

Chorus

I tried to let you go

I tried to let you go

I buried all we built

And still it hurts me so

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Maybe years will wear it thin

Maybe I'll forget your face

But if your name still finds me here

I'll let it break me once again

Chorus

I tried to let you go

I tried to let you go

I buried all we built

And still it hurts me so
