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

You Can't Say We Didn't Try Lyrics

Just because we're scared
Doesn't mean we're wrong
The world won't end today
If both of us move onBut didn't we have a time?
You can't take that away
We've had a change of mind
I think it's safe to sayThat I've been holding on to you
And you've been holding on to me
'Cause neither of us wants to be
The first to say goodbyeAnd 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 tryClose 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 anymoreMaybe somewhere down the line
We'll remember who we were
Another place, another time

Some old feeling starts to stirBut I've been holding on to you
And you've been holding on to me
'Cause neither of us wants to be
The one to say goodbyeAnd 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
