dusk arising

a little love song

 


i tried to leave you,
           but it couldnt be done
i tried to leave you,
           but i never got home
can\'t ever leave you,
           look what you\'ve done
i tried to leave you
           but these legs wouldn\'t run

i tried not to love you
             like i just didn\'t care
i tried not to love you
             but you\'re everywhere
built up my fences
             fell in your river and drowned
i tried not to love you
             but you pulled it all down

i tried not to tell you
              looked the other way
i tried not to tell you
              till it was all i could say
thought i heard voices
              when i finally heard
i tried not to tell you
               my three little words

i tried to hold back tears
               i looked in your eyes
i tried to hold back tears
               but there\'s no disguise
my heart stopped beating
               shook in my shoes
i couldn\'t hold back tears
               hearing \"i love you too\"
