Lori McKenna - If He Tried lyrics

rate me

It’s finally breaking me down

To my credit I feel like I held on as long as I could

I barely recognize myself now

I’d teach my heart to lie if I thought that it would

I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special

I don’t need him to hang the stars in the sky

Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning

But wouldn’t it be nice - If he tried

It’s finally tearing me apart

An impossible mending you can’t see from the outside

No one knows where all the pieces are

Do you love me I say, “sure” he replied

I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special

I don’t need him to hang the stars in the sky

Pay for all my sins or save me from drowning

But wouldn’t it be nice

Oh wouldn’t it be nice

If his eyes would light up - when he spoke my name

If he’d run to catch me in his arms

At the end of the day

I don’t need the whole world to think I’m special

I don’t need him to pull the stars from the sky

Just to string up my name in tiny sparkling lights

But wouldn’t it be nice

Wouldn’t it be nice,

If he tried....
