Why Even Try
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 do I even try
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?
People say somethings 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 do I even try
To keep my head held high
Arms open wide
Heart full clear eyes
If I live if I die
The damage is done
So why even try?
Everyone fears that they're not enough
I'm just afraid that it's permanent
That I'm permanently broken
Permanently broken
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 do 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 high
Arms open wide
Heart full clear eyes
All the doubts all the lies are too heavy to hold
So why even try?
You don't have to do this all on your own
This fragile life that you hold is too heavy to carry alone
So why even try?
All of the doubts
All of the lies
All of the tears that you've cried
Are too heavy to carry alone
So why even try?
