try
reality is harsh
my skies are a dull, depressing gray
i wish it didn't happen this way
so when will it end?
this up and down,
these escalations
it's just a rollercoaster
of emotions, oh my
all i do is try
and try
and try again
i'm exhausted
from fighting
invisible demons
that no one sees
whether it's the skyline or the trees
everything seems perfect to me, oh
all except my infidelity
oh no
oh my
all i do is try, try, try
and i cry, cry, cry
i'm a damn fool
he used me like a tool
what am i to you?
am i just a lovely view?
or your local curfew?
this all comes with a price,
it grips me like a vice
your heart is cold as ice, darling
but it will have to suffice
watch me as i run away,
all this fighting,
all this screaming and ill-believing
all i do is try.
