Текст песни It's Not Because We Didn't Try - Dobie Gray

If we had it to do all over
If we had a second chance
Could we come any closer
To that dream we almost had?

I don't think we'd do things different
'Cause between your heart and mine
If we didn't go the distance
It's not because we didn't try

It's not because we didn't care enough
We may never love that way again
Letting go wouldn't hurt so much
If we hadn't held on 'til the very end
I guess some things just aren't meant to be
Even when it feels so right
If forever's not for you and me
It's not because we didn't try

Though we both had good intentions
That's how the road to heartache's paved
We gave our all and then some
But our love could not be saved

Right our wrong when the door is closed
It won't really matter why
Maybe it's just enough to know
It's not because we didn't try

It's not because we didn't care enough
We may never love that way again
Letting go wouldn't hurt so much
If we hadn't held on 'til the very end
I guess some things just aren't meant to be
Even when it feels so right
If forever's not for you and me
It's not because we didn't try

If forever's not for you and me
It's not because we didn't try
