I Tried to Be Good Lyrics

On that first morning

With your hands around my neck

Was that some kinda joke

Or what I could expect

I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

Never enough

I gave til I was broke

Trapped in my own home

You had me by the throat

I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

Sipping spirits on the bathroom floor

Whispers through the bedroom door

Seemed like you always wanted more

So much I wish I'd known before

I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

You wore me down

You never let me say no

You used my mistakes

And as you stepped on me you rose

Still I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

Oh I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

Oh I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should

I tried to be good

To do what I thought I should
