Story Behind The Song

A REAL LIFE situation, recorded with the 2 parties actually involved in the BRIEF, STRAINING, EXTREMEMLY TIRING relationship. A song that was definitely necessary to get the point across.

Song Description

A conversation between a couple basically saying that the relationship is over. Every avenue has been exhausted hence the title Tried and Tested. A kind of goodbye song laced with a hint of resentment from one and relief from the other.

Lyrics

TRIED AND TESTED

INTRO
Baby, baby baby,
Gotta share something with you,
Gotta tell you, something something,
Yeah

VERSE 1
You said that our love was so special,
(Like something never, ever, ever, seen)
You said that our hearts, would be as one,
(But as I turn around, your heart has gone?)
To a place where 3 is a crowd,
(But you promised that I?d be number 1)
Oh why, oh why, deny,
Why lie,
The story has ended cause

CHORUS
This has been tried and tested,
And now I?m recovered and rested,
Too much time wasted, invested,
No more, no more,
Like a fool, I let you take full control,
And inspite of the warnings, couldn?t let you go,
Confused by your love, but now its time to go,
So no more, no more,

VERSE 2
Yes I know that I said I'd do right by you,
And make all your dreams come true but,
I'm only human,
Baby I tried to do the best for you,
But I know I wasn't enough for you,
So what you must do is find another man,
Someone who understands

PRE HOOK
It was my mistake for loving you,
It was my mistake for trusting you,
It was my mistake for allowing,
My heart to take over,
It was my mistake for respecting you,
It was my mistake for accepting you,
It was mistake for expecting,
You to change, oh,

CHORUS x1

MIDDLE 8
Ahhhh x3
I know that I hurt you baby,
Ahhhh x3
I know but you did yeah,
Ahhhh x3
There's nothing more I can say,

CHORUS X1

OUTRO
No more no, im out the door,
Gotta leave x 4
Gotta leave gone,
So gone x 2
Bye bye baby baby,
You had something special now im gone,
This has been tried and tested.
