Lyrics

Try Too Hard

[Intro]

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

You follow every line, you wear your perfect patch and style

But you're like a satellite and you're drifting through the sky

You can't make up your mind about this or that, or anything at all

So you go with the flow and hope to God that no one knows it

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything you are, everything you say

Everything you do is not for you

Everything you feel, everything you know

You found it on your favorite TV show

[Chorus]

And it's people like you that make me sick

I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look

[Verse 2]

You're telling everyone how different that you really are

But it's been said before, so maybe you're not special after all

If you put the same amount of effort into letting go

Just act yourself and you might like it, you never know

'Cause everything you want, everything you do

You try so hard to be everyone but you

Everywhere you turn, you just got to learn

It's easier if you don't try so hard

[Chorus]

And it's people like you that make me sick

I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look

Is there somewhere I can go to get away

Where there's truth and people mean just what they say?

[Bridge]

You try too hard

You just try too hard

You try too hard

[Chorus]

And it's people like us that make me sick

I'm surrounded by it everywhere I look

Is there somewhere we can go to get away

Where there's truth and people mean just what they say?

[Outro]

You try too hard

You just try too hard
