It doesn't matter how I try   The words I say just as fate slips away   Who decides what matters anyway?   And I can tell you every day or night   It carries through every thought and play   I know how I've tried   I know how I've tried      It doesn't matter what I do   The actions don't affect the way she feels   Who can say what motions do conceal?   And I can tell you day or night   It carries through in every thought and play   I know how I've tried      I know how I try      It doesn't matter how I try   The words I say just as fate slips away   Who decides what matters anyway?   And I can tell you day or night   It carries through in every thought and play   I know how I've tried   I know how I've tried
