Analysis of Trying
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Trying
#25
Can I try
To show you I love you
I could try
To show you that I care
Can I try
To mend your broken heart
Can I try
To love you even more
I could try
Only if you let me
I could try
To become someone else
Can I try
To change my character
I could try
Only if you let me
Can we try
To strengthen our marriage/friendship
I could try
To become a witness/best friend
I could try
If you could do the same
P.s.Have I told you that I love you
Today?
Have I told you how much I care,
Today?
