Have Tried from the beginning by David Burchfield

It’s been so long
Since I first loved you
That I can’t remember before
And who I was then
And who I am now
Seem so indistinguishable

{I know I’ve changed
And I know you have too
But I know I’m a better man now}

[And I have tried
To love you well
And somehow come up short
But I’ll go back
And try again
If you’ll only say the word.]

What piece of your heart
Have you hidden so long
The treasure I have sought
I’ve given my life
To be denied
When I finally found the door

{What’s keeping you
From loving me
The way that I have loved you?}

[Because I have tried
To love you well
And given all I could
But if that somehow
Is not enough
What exactly are you looking for?]

<I thought that we’d broke down
All the walls in our way
And we both thought that we’d stick for good
Now all those dreams
That you dreamed with me
Seem lost, unrecoverable.>
