I tried running, I tried running away from it all I tried driving, but it kept up with my speeding car I tried dancing, but you know I can't dance at all I tried trances, the hypnotist was hypnotized, but what's on my mind? I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I tried canoeing, I thought it'd take me away for a while But I just sat there moving, while thoughts of you paddled through my mind I tried drugging, you know you can never tell my mom about that I tried loving someone else, but their eyes just reminded me that we were once a match I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I even tried a psych ward, they locked me up and they closed the door But somehow you got through, through the bars on my window to that scar on my mind I tried my headphones, I tried to shut out the world But every song that I shuffled, sang your name and every word I ever gave you my whole life I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you I tried riding, I tried riding it all down But in my riding, it's like I'm riding that horse on your carousel again I tried to make a song, I tried to sing it well But we both know you belong to the world now, not my ear canal Now when I tried everything I could think to do, I still follow you But I'm still as blue as the day that you said that we were through I tried everything I could think to do to not think of you But I'm still as blue as the sky when you told me we were through
