I Try [German translation]

Games, changes and fears

When will they go from here?

When will they stop?

I believe that fate has brought us here

And we should be together, babe

But we're not

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

Try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free

But I'm just a prisoner of your love

I may seem alright and smile when you leave

But my smiles are just a front, just a front

And I play it off but I'm dreaming of you

And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say good-bye and I choke

Try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

Try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession

May I be your possession

Boy I need your touch

Your love, kisses, and such

With all my might I try

But this I can't deny, deny

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you [but I'm dreaming of you, babe]

And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'

I try to say good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Good-bye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near
