I TRY Last night beneath the covers, I asked about your old lover. And were you seeing my face or his. You said, “The past is better left where it is.” Then you turned your back with a sigh, And that solitary sigh said, “Goodbye.” I try never to pry, I try never to pry, I try never to pry, And I’m never gonna pry again. This morning at the airport, As you were leaving my escort, I said, “Whatever’s good for you Will be good for me, too. Our futures will be filled with smiles, Now, go get those frequent flier miles.” I try never to lie, I try never to lie, I try never to lie, And I’m never gonna lie again. Tonight, I sit and pass the hours, Staring at the last dead flowers That are all I have left of you. Now, there’s only one thing I can do On this hottest night in July, I keep wiping the sweat from my eyes. I try never to cry, I try never to cry, I try never to cry, And I’m never gonna cry again. I try never to pry, I try never to lie, I try never to cry, And I’m never gonna cry again. Copyright © 1999 Lex Zaleta
