Try

Takes four days to get to like me
But two to wanna leave
But the part that really gets me
Are all the moments in between
Now I lie to get a little
And laugh at every little thing
She's high on information
But now I'm low on self-esteem
So I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself this time
I'm a hundred kinds of crazy
But I only wanna find
One sweet little angel
Who's gonna let me speak my mind
All I ever do these days
Is dumb my process down
She's making her decision
But now I'm losing all my ground
So I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself this time
Easy does it now
Just keep your damn mouth shut
She thinks you're hot already
Don't go and press your luck
No news is good news coming
You gotta wait to find
Don't go and blow it
You do every single time
Oh I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
I'm gonna try
Gonna try to be myself this time
