Almost Tried by Emily DeLoach

The time it goes so quickly I could never count the days / since you've been gone / seems like only yesterday

We'd drive around for hours hearing Adam counting crows / I miss those nights / guided by the light of our lover's soul

I've almost tried but I don't even know where I could start / I can't leave behind the hole you left in my heart

Sometimes my memory fails me and sometimes it rushes back / your stupid jokes always used to make me laugh / I'll run across your letters or I'll smell your old cologne / It's all I've got to keep my hand from the telephone.

I've almost tried but I don't even know where I could start / I can't leave behind the hole you left in my heart

Hours fade into days and years / I've forgotten the taste of my own tears

Maybe when I'm fifty I can think of you and smile / and realize you were better off anyhow / The time it goes so quickly I could never count the days / by then I'll know I'll be close to coming home to you anyway

I've almost tried but I don't even know where I could start / I can't leave behind the hole you left in my heart
