Last night I had a strange dream
That you and I were drifting
On a ship that was just headed for nowhere
I felt the strong winds blowin'
And so I started going
You couldn't help me and it all disappeared

If we don't make some changes
Stop actin' like we're strangers
We're gonna watch our love go down like a sunset
I'm fighting for our love
I don't wanna give it up
Baby stop being so blind
And see that I try

I try
With all my heart and my soul
I cry
Baby please don't let go
Baby it's on you
Tell me what to do
When will you open your eyes
And see that I try

I'm waiting for that ocean
To bring our love back again
I'm waiting for the dark to bring back the light, yeah yeah
I know I'll find all of this
In one coherent sweet kiss
Or when you find the strength to bring back the smile

They said we'd make some changes
Stop actin' like we're strangers
Or we're gonna watch our love go down like a sunset
I'm fighting for our love
I don't wanna give it up
Baby stop being so blind
And see that I try

I try (I try)
With all my heart and my soul
I cry (I cry)
Baby please don't let go
Baby it's on you (baby it's on you)
Tell me what to do (tell me what to do)
When will you open your eyes (your eyes)
And see that I try

I try
Baby please come back
Remember the love that we share
(The good times)
I can't imagine (I can't imagine)
A love without passion (love without passion)
Life without you by my side
Baby I try

I try
With all my heart and my soul (all my soul)
I cry
Baby please don't let go (please don't let me go)
Baby it's on you (you know it's on you)
Tell me what to do (what should I do)
When will you open your eyes
And see that I try
I try (I try, I try)
With all my heart and my soul
I cry (I cry, you know I cry baby)
Baby please don't let go
Baby it's on you (you now I can't imagine love without passion baby)
Tell me what to do
When will you open your eyes
Baby I try
