  • I was waiting for the bus one day
    Watched a fight between a artsy couple escalate
    Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage
    Then he spilled his coffee as he frantically explained

    Maybe if you took a breath (ooh)
    You would hear me when I talk to you
    Threw her necklace in his face
    Eyes so bright with disappointment
    I saw something inside her break
    Everybody knows the feeling
    Suddenly he started screaming

    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Swear to God, I tried

    Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran
    Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street
    Watched his world dissolve in his hands
    Tried to roll a blunt then put his head between his knees

    Maybe if she took a breath (ooh)
    She would know I did it all for her
    Agony and hints of sage
    Her eyes blind with disappointment
    I couldn't recognize her face
    Shards of glass live in this feeling
    Have to somehow stop her leaving

    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Caroline
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Swear to God, I tried
    I swear to God, I tried
    Swear to God, I tried Writer/s: Anais Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho, Gianluca Buccellati
