Ashleigh Ball - Tried to Tell You

Maybe it’s all in my head
I’ve got to figure that out
Was it something I said
Or was it what I didn’t say
It’s on the tip of my tongue
Down the back of my spine
in everything that I’ve done
Or everything that’s ever
come undone

All the spaces between
in the shape of our love
all the sorrow you’ve seen
And it’s all because I’d never tell anyone
All the letters you wrote
Over so many years
and the time that I froze
trying to find the words I’d always feared

I Tried
Tried
Tried to tell you

I’ve been holding my breath
I’ve been biding my time
Always knowing the stress
Of all of this would come crashing
It runs deeper than blood
Spilling onto the earth
Will we grow from the mud
Become stronger than we ever were

I had to bury it to save us
Little little lies that tried to chase us
I knew I couldn’t face it
All the letters in the basement
I had to bury it to save us
Little little lies that tried to chase us
I knew I couldn’t face it
All the letters in the basement
I had to bury it to save us

I tried
Tried to tell you

It’s all that you know
It’s all you’ve ever known
All that you know
All you’ve known
All that you know
It’s all you’ve ever known
All you’ve ever known
All you’ve ever known
