I Tried, I Cried, I Died Inside

What I thought was love
Only became more heart ache
The ring I waited to wear
A symbol of what could have been

Could it be im foolish, and undeserving?
If only I knew
Right now im down to nothing
Does he still love me, or did I fail him

I don't know
I've tried to be strong, I've tired to trust,
And once again I’ve been hurt
He told me he was different

But I should have known better
They’re all the same, and they don't seem to care
I've tried making it work
But now I just feel like giving up

My heart is pounding, and it hurts
My thoughts are racing saying
"Give up", "No stay"
I'm so confused

And it hurts so bad,
I want to put my pain to an end
But I don't know how
