WE BOTH TRIED
			    (B.Champlin-D.Foster)



What can you do with love
decides to pass you by
the more we try
the less we get along
there comes a time
in every life when right and wrong
is what comes between us
we've seen us fall apart
down to the seams
dreams

We both tried
then love died
old standbys were nice tries
so goodbye
We both lied
to ourselves about each other
we both cried
cause we needed something better
old standbys were nice tries
so goodbye

Our love reminded me
of wishing on a start
it was hard to feel anything

We put us through the paces
with total disregard
for the love between us
refused to grow
refused to spread her wings
dreams

We both tried
everything within our power
then love died
by the minute, by the hour
old standbys were nice tries
so goodbye

We both tried
to ourselves about each other
we both cried
cause we needed something better
old stanbys were nice tries
so goodbye
