lyrics

I Tried
(Shawn Harris, Miles Hurwitz, the Matches)

I was born yesterday
and I will die long before tomorrow
staying put, there's nothing to it
but we make staying in love look so hard though

I I tried so hard
I tried only to find
it's easy, so easy,
love's so easy you would not believe me

I was dead
yesterday, long before I met you
just a breath
is all we get
to hold it like just once it won't slip through

Who would believe in love?
who would believe me?
believe in love
I was born yesterday
believe me, it's easy
oh, now, do you believe me?

You won't believe
would you believe?
I was born yesterday
