This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe we only needed time
We couldn't make it last forever
But I tried
I tried
Maybe I gave my heart too easy
Maybe your heart was never mine
I did my best to make you happy
Yes, I tried
You know I tried
Who knows where the love goes
When the loves gone
You just hold on
And you hold it all inside, yeah
I tried to give you love
It was not enough
It was not enough to keep you satisfied
Maybe I couldn't make you love me
But I tried
You know I tried
I tried to just give you love
It was not enough
It was not enough to keep you satisfied
I couldn't keep you in my life
And so I'll have to let you go now
Guess now I got to say good-bye
I'll learn to live my life without you
I don't know how
But I'll try
Yes, I'll try
Oh, guess we couldn't make it baby
After all this time we just couldn't get it right
But I tried
Yes, I tried
Maybe we only needed time
We couldn't make it last forever
But I tried
I tried
Maybe I gave my heart too easy
Maybe your heart was never mine
I did my best to make you happy
Yes, I tried
You know I tried
Who knows where the love goes
When the loves gone
You just hold on
And you hold it all inside, yeah
I tried to give you love
It was not enough
It was not enough to keep you satisfied
Maybe I couldn't make you love me
But I tried
You know I tried
I tried to just give you love
It was not enough
It was not enough to keep you satisfied
I couldn't keep you in my life
And so I'll have to let you go now
Guess now I got to say good-bye
I'll learn to live my life without you
I don't know how
But I'll try
Yes, I'll try
Oh, guess we couldn't make it baby
After all this time we just couldn't get it right
But I tried
Yes, I tried

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
