Whenever I tried my love Did you know I've tried my hardest? Whenever I promised you, I gave my word without an alibi Whenever I told you I'd never again, but I meant it, every word Whenever I rose with a fear in my heart without recollection Whenever I told you I've been so sick and tired of being so sick and tired Whenever I cried changing sheets in the morning I meant it, every word Whenever I was home, the more you were alone And I rub my eyes and I'll try to love you one day at a time And I know I caused your pain But every day I'll try to make amends And I paid my price and I'll try to love you one day at a time Is now that I know that in order to win, oh, I have to surrender Now that I know that in order to grow, I have to let it go And now that I know where the first one will take me And I've been powerless Whenever I was home, the more you were alone And I rub my eyes and I'll try to love you one day at a time And I know that I caused your pain But every day I'll try to make amends And I paid my price and I'll try to love you one day at a time Oh, oh, no, oh, oh, oh Listen up Won't you listen up? Whenever I was home, the more you were alone I rub my eyes and I'll try to love, I'll try to love you And I know that I caused your pain, but every day I'll try to make amends I rub my eyes and I'll try to love, I'll try to love you One day at a time lover Oh, no, no, no, no, no
