Why I Try

I can try if you let me

Without lies I am bleeding

Who am I without stories that aren't mine?

What I did to achieve you

Gave me air, thought I had to

I'm untrue, it's not pretty

The truth hurts

And you stayed on the ground

While I was high

Yes, you been here before

You closed the door

Now I don't know what to say

I expect you to leave

I deserve to be unheard

But I want you to see

That you are the reason

Why I try

I don't know what you're thinking

But I know how you're feeling

I have crushed and burned someone before

And now I'm afraid of the person

I'm pretending to be

But I'm more afraid to tell you

I'm less than you see

And I know when I let go right now

I'm gonna turn you against me

'Cause baby you stayed on the ground

While I was high

Yes, you been here before

You closed the door

Now I don't know what to say

I expect you to leave

I deserve to be unheard

But I want you to see

That you are the reason

Why I try

'Cause it's the look in your eyes

Filled with doubts and I'm scared I

Am trying my very best to make it okay

But do you even care anymore?

Yes baby you stayed on the ground

While I was high

Yes, you been here before

You closed the door

Now I don't know what to say

I expect you to leave

I deserve to be unheard

But I want you to see

That you are the reason

Why I try
