Tying not to think of you Battling with myself not to reminisce of the things you do Tying to be stronger than my past Attempting to convince myself that this true love wears a mask Trying to get over the one hope of happiness that has alluded us How can I rebuild the trust. Trying to mend what was oh so delicate Climbing loves mountain just to get in shape. Trying not to remember that I was your hero Watching loves thermometer drop to below zero Trying not to call, ring, or text Hoping I'm still "the present" and you stay clear of "the next" Trying not to send roses Staying away from you in my mind and your many poses. Trying to forget US Something like the trip to Vegas or bust. Trying not to read the cards, look at the watch Don't want to wear the shirt you bought Trying to understand your heart Only to fulfill your true love from the start Trying to forget that I paid that damn fine Thinking of the stories that we'd tell your kids and mine Baby I'm trying…. I'm trying to defeat all the odds I promised I wouldn't, but now I must take this to God Trying not to lose you I can't accuse you, confuse you or bruise you. Just want to amuse you Trying to hold back the tears If you leave I'll have to battle my worst fears Having heaven and loosing it I'm trying………
