Lyrics
One Last Try
-----------------------------
It?s been a long time since I last confessed.
It?s been a hard time but I did my best
To keep you in my life for all these years.
Listened to the stories that you used to share,
And baby I?m sorry if it seemed I didn?t care
Because I did and I do and I?m still in love with you.
But if the ocean should run dry
I won?t turn back. I?ll say goodbye.
I?m just begging you baby please,
Give me one last try.
I?ve made some mistakes that don?t make me proud.
It seems that I wake up just to let you down
And it breaks my heart ?cause I know you could have more.
You see things in me that others don?t see.
I need you baby. Do you need me?
You know me better then myself. There could be no one else
But you
But if the ocean should run dry
I won?t turn back. I?ll say goodbye.
I?m just begging you baby please,
Think about you and I.
I?m just begging you baby please?
Give me one last try.
Oooo Oooo
I?m just begging you baby please,
Give me one last try.
