Lyrics

Why Even Try

when i forgot you, you came to mind
every trouble back in your eyes and
it's all cyclical so why even try?
why even try to change?
you're yourself way more than i am
being friends was in the palm of my hand but
i let it fall and break so why even try?
why even try to mend?
on and on the feelings burst and then they fall
until later on we walk it back and patch things up
soon it will all disappear
maybe i will miss your voice in my ear but
i can't go back now so why even try?
why even try to hear?
no more us, no more we, no more you, no more me
when i forgot you, you came to mind
every trouble back in your eyes and
i can't go back now so why even try?
you can't go back now so why even try, no?
we can't go back now so why even try?
why even try to change?
