You Can't Say We Didn't Try Lyrics - The Traveling Kind - Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell

Just because we're scared 

Doesn't mean we're wrong 

The world won't end today 

If both of us move on 

But didn't we have a time? 

You can't take that away 

We've had a change of mind 

I think it's safe to say 

That I've been holding on to you 

And you've been holding on to me 

'Cause neither of us wants to be 

The first to say goodbye 

And so it goes, we must admit 

How we both thought that this was it 

Though we couldn't make the pieces fit 

You can't say we didn't try 

Close the window, pull the shade 

Turn the key and lock the door 

We'd best forget the plans we made 

We don't live here anymore 

Maybe somewhere down the line 

We'll remember who we were 

Another place, another time 

Some old feeling starts to stir 

But I've been holding on to you 

And you've been holding on to me 

'Cause neither of us wants to be 

The one to say goodbye 

And so it goes we've grown apart 

Guess you could say we lost a heart 

And even though we came up short 

You can't say we didn't try
