You Can't Say We Didn't Try - Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell

Just because we’re scared

Doesn’t mean we’re wrong

The world won’t end today

If both of us move on

But didn’t we have a time

You can’t take that away

We’d had a change of mind

I think it’s safe to say

That I’ve been holding on to you

And you’ve been holding on to me

'Cos neither of us wants to be

The first to say goodbye

And so it goes we must admit

How we both thought that this was it

Though we couldn’t make the pieces fit

You can’t say we didn’t try

Close the window, pull the shade

Turn the key and lock the door

We’d best forget the plans we made

We don’t live here anymore

Maybe somewhere down the line

We’ll remember who we were

Another place, another time

Some old feeling starts to stir

But I’ve been holding on to you

And you’ve been holding on to me

'Cos neither of us wants to be

The one to say goodbye

And so it goes we’ve grown apart

Guess you could say we lost a heart

And even though we came up short

You can’t say we didn’t try
