Should've Tried Harder
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.
Some think that they deserve more
Give a little, like it's become a chore
Don't demand things,
Or walk yourself out the door
I fell flat on my face too many times
Left with nothing but some cheap perfume
Now you cry, now you need me
Now that perfume's not cheap
But i told you...
If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you, you should've tried harder
If you thought i would leap into your arms,
everytime i would see your face
Then maybe you, you should've tried harder
Go on, prove it
I'd love to see you try
Convince me that you gave me the world
I tried and tried but you never opened your eyes
You stand tall like you've won some kind of award
But really, i've never seen someone so short
You'd look taller, if you gave me some more
But i told you
If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you, you should've tried harder
If you thought i would leap into your arms,
Everytime i would see your face
Then maybe you, you should've tried harder
Some think that they deserve more
Give a little bit
If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you, you should've tried harder
If you thought i would leap into your arms,
everytime i would see your face
Then maybe you, you should've tried harder
