tryin' to love you

You check every box and then some

The kind that every one of my friends want

That mamas love and daddy's trust

With their hold world ridin' in a pickup

Yeah you're everything I pray for

The type they say it's so worth the wait for

Old soul eyes, that tell no lies

So I, I don't know why

Tryin' to love you

Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk

As bad as I want to let my heart let go damn it just won't

It ain't your fault it's hard to start a fire

When you can't make one spark fly

The trouble with tryin' to love you is I

I shouldn't have to try

(Shouldn't have to try)

As hard as it is to say it

I'm sure it's even harder to take it

You deserve more

Than a half open door

I don't wanna waste your time

Tryin' to love you

Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk

As bad as I want to let my heart let go damn it just won't

It ain't your fault it's hard to start a fire

When you can't make one spark fly

The trouble with tryin' to love you is I

I shouldn't have to try

(Shouldn't have to try)

I shouldn't have to try

(Shouldn't have to try, Shouldn't have to try)

Wish I could put a finger on it

Feels like something's missing don't it

Fallin's supposed to feel like flyin'

Ain't supposed to feel like trying

To love you

(Shouldn't have to try, Shouldn't have to try)

Tryin' to love you

Is like tryin' to grow a rose in a city sidewalk

As bad as I want to let my heart let go damn it just won't

It ain't your fault it's hard to start a fire

When you can't make one spark fly

The trouble with tryin' to love you is I

I shouldn't have to try

(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)

I Shouldn't have to try

(Shouldn't have to try, have to try)

Ohhh yeah
