try hard

1 2 3 4

i'm trying too hard again

she's dropping outta school 'cause she don't need the grades

the colours in her hair don't seem to fade

i get dressed up when i go out

but she gets dressed down

she's 17

i told her i'm 20

i couldn't take her out 'cause mum's got no money

it's stuff like this that makes me wish that i could change somehow

sitting here at home

it's obvious

she's so out of reach

and i'm finding it hard

'cause she makes me feel

makes me feel

like i try

like i try

like i'm trying too hard

'cause i'm not being me

and it's getting me down

that she makes me think

makes me think

that i try

that i try

that i'm trying too hard again

'cause i'm trying too hard again

she's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered

i play guitar but she's into drummers

she's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name

i pierced my lip so she thinks i'm cool

i ripped my jeans and dropped out of school

i followed her 'round the town but she thinks that i'm a weirdo now

sitting here at home

it's obvious

she's so out of reach

and i'm finding it hard

'cause she makes me feel

makes me feel

like i try

like i try

like i'm trying too hard

'cause i'm not being me

and it's getting me down

that she makes me think

makes me think

that i try

that i try

that i'm trying too hard again

but now

who knew?

that she's in the crowd of my show

nothing to lose

she's standing right in the front row

the perfect view

she came along on her own

and there's something that you should know

you're so out of reach

and i'm finding it hard

'cause you make me feel

you make me feel

yeah she makes me feel

she makes me feel

it's obvious

she's so out of reach

and i'm finding it hard

'cause she makes me feel

makes me feel

like i try

like i try

like i'm trying too hard

'cause i'm not being me

and it's getting me down

that she makes me think

makes me think

that i try

that i try

that i'm trying too hard again

'cause i'm trying too hard again

'cause i'm trying too hard again
