Heaven knows I've tried, but nothing will give way at all

I always see your face at the start of every day

You always set the rhythm that makes my body ache

Like mortar from a wall it's just your back you break.

Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better

Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more

How much will it take to stay together

Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart

Right from the start.

You always broke the border, it was always there to break

I gave you all my loving, as much as you could take

But still there's something missing, it's gone missing deep inside

My words don't compensate at all, for the all the nights we died.

Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better

Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more

How much will it take to stay together

Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart

Right from the start.

A love you can't have, a love you can't face

A love you broke once, a love you broke twice

What seemed like love, felt like pain

Everywhere you moved, it's gonna to be the same

Blame it on people, blame it on the cards

Whichever you do, it's going to the stars.

Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better

Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more

How much will it take to stay together

Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart

Right from the start.
