Why Even Try Songtext
Everything that I
Ever start seems to
Have its day, then it
Falls apart like it's
Almost good and it's
Almost right but I
Miss the mark and I
Lose the fight
So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y
To keep my head held high
Arms open wide
Heart full, clear eyes
If I live, if I die
The damage is done
Why even try-y-y?
People say some things
Never change
The way they are is the
Way they stay
Wouldn't I like to
Disagree but I'm dancing with the fire
And the fire keeps burning me
So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y
To keep my head held high
Arms open wide Heart full, clear eyes
If I live, if I die
Oh, the damage is done
So why even try-y-y?
Everyone scared that they're not enough
I'm just afraid that it's permanent
That I'm permanently broken
Permanently broken, ooh-ooh
Fragile hearts in these
Fragile times
Often break before they
Ever find that there's
Hope inside of these shadowlands
Written in the sky and stone and printed on our hands
So why-y-y do I-I-I always
Measure the truth with the
Weight of a lie? Nothing's
Broken inside of me for good
I'm healing in time the way I should
I can see it if I keep my head held hi-igh
Arms open wide
Heart full, clear eyes
All the doubts, all the lies
Are too heavy to hold so why even try-y-y? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Whoo! You don't have to do this all on your own (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This fragile life that you hold (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Is too heavy to carry alone so why even try? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Mmm, all of the doubts, all of the lies (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
All of the fears, all of the tears tears that you've cried
Are too heavy to carry alone
So why even try?
Ever start seems to
Have its day, then it
Falls apart like it's
Almost good and it's
Almost right but I
Miss the mark and I
Lose the fight
So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y
To keep my head held high
Arms open wide
Heart full, clear eyes
If I live, if I die
The damage is done
Why even try-y-y?

The way they are is the
Way they stay
Wouldn't I like to
Disagree but I'm dancing with the fire
And the fire keeps burning me
So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y
To keep my head held high
Arms open wide Heart full, clear eyes
If I live, if I die
