Ben Harper - Trying Not To Fall In Love With You Lyrics

I try not to hurry
But I'm always in a rush
I try not to worry
But it gets to be too much
I try to stay busy
I just don't know what to do
Trying not to fall in love with you

I tried to be patient, but it gets to hard to breathe
I try to run away ,but you know that I won't leave
And everyday I try to tell myself that we are through
Trying no to fall in love with you

And all the nights seem so long
And the days, how they linger on, on and on
Is there nothing can be done?
Am I the only one?

I try to play it fairly
But you don't play by the rules
Why do I look for wisdom
When it's just a game of fools?
It's a lofty aspiration
Yet it's one I must pursue
Trying not to fall in love with you

They put me on medication
But it wouldn't take
I tried to sever relations but the bond wouldn't break
Tomorrow I'll awake, try to start my life anew
Trying not to fall
Trying not to fall
Trying not to fall in love
In love with you
