Why Do I Try
I'm walking in the rain
It's drenching down my neck and back
I wish I could stop
Thinking of all I lack
And now the clouds break way
Is this a symbol or a sign
Of something that I'm missing
I thought I'd reach it if I try
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
So now I'm driving down
The winding road we used to travel
All your heartless ways
Why did you even bother?
I'm passing by the sea
I'd like to stop and jump right in
But I don't realize
That I can't even swim
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
And now the sun throws down
The spears of heat that keep me moving
It's hard to cheer yourself
When all you think is what you're losing
My mind runs through events
That seem to shape and mold me
I never see them coming
I just watch them as they're going
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
It's drenching down my neck and back
I wish I could stop
Thinking of all I lack
And now the clouds break way
Is this a symbol or a sign
Of something that I'm missing
I thought I'd reach it if I try
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
So now I'm driving down
The winding road we used to travel
All your heartless ways
Why did you even bother?
I'm passing by the sea
I'd like to stop and jump right in
But I don't realize
That I can't even swim
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
And now the sun throws down
The spears of heat that keep me moving
It's hard to cheer yourself
When all you think is what you're losing
My mind runs through events
That seem to shape and mold me
I never see them coming
I just watch them as they're going
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
Why do I try?
Hopeless trying isn't right
So now I'll say goodbye to you
