lyrics

TRIED TO TELL HER

With summer lumbering on
A heart had to break
She'd not known me long
I'd known her forever
I could never leave her sight
But she couldn't see
Summer love, it changes color
Right along with the trees

Couldn't find a way
To keep the sunny days from ending
I tried to tell her
It won't be the same
All the perfect days we were spending
I tried to tell her
Are gonna melt away
And run down her face like Maybelline
I tried to tell her
We won't find a way
We don't need to keep on pretending
I tried to tell her

Once in Winslow Park
And once on the beach
Then we took our walk
Down by the river
I found the words and waited
For 'em to take
No, she only threw her shoes
And waded into the wake

Couldn't find a way
To keep the sunny days from ending
I tried to tell her
It won't be the same
All the perfect days we were spending
I tried to tell her
Are gonna melt away
And run down her face like Maybelline
I tried to tell her
We won't find a way
We don't need to keep on pretending
I tried to tell her

To come back in
Sure, you win
There's an undertow
Said she knows

Couldn't find a way
To keep the sunny days from ending
I tried to tell her
It won't be the same
All the perfect days we were spending
I tried to tell her
Are gonna melt away
And run down her face like Maybelline
I tried to tell her
We won't find a way
We don't need to keep on pretending

I tried to tell her today
