I try to do the best I can for you
But it seems that it's not enough
Will you know I care even when you're not there?
But it's not what you want

You close your door when I wanna give you more
And I feel, I feel so out of place
And you know it's true
Don't you think I'm good enough for you?

Tell me why can't, why can't you see that you're hurting me?
And I want, I want this pain to stop
So if you really care
I mean if you, if you really, really care
Then open up your heart to me

[Saxophone solo]

Can you make this pain
Can you make it stop, make it stop?
If you really care, if you really, really care
Then open up your heart to me
Can you open up to me?

You know that I try to be with you
You know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I wanted to make you mine
It was only a matter of time

I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, yeah
You know that I try
You know I try
It's in the hands of time
It's all in the hands of time
