Don'T Say I Never Tried

As sure as the sun does shine, the world will keep turnin' round. But everytime I'd come to you, you'd just put me down. You said that you loved me, but you were never satisfied. Well baby loving you was hard, so don't say I never tried. As sure as the stars would shine, the night would make it's sound. Evertime I'd cross that bridge, You would turn me back around. I'd stumble with every step, to get there by your side. Girl you'd break my heart, so don't say I never tried. There were days I'd walk away, but return from things you'd say. My heart was truly yours, but oh the price I had to pay. I was told a man don't cry, well girl someone told a lie. Cause I sure felt I could die, so don't say I never tried. Although my tears did fall, I still believed you were the one. Well now my eyes are dry, and I know you had your fun. Today I swallowed my pride, and opened my eyes wide. Cause I know you never loved me, but don't say I never tried.

Hey George you've got some real talent here, like this one a lot. The separation of verses and chorus works better, like you did on the other one, would make it easier to follow. Good job!
