Why Try

We said our last goodbyes
It was my choice, I can't deny
Was I the bad guy, or was I the wise guy
You've been on my mind but
I can't tell you why
We'd fall apart anyways

So why try?
So why try?
So why try?
So why try?

I couldn't let my self go with someone
Who didn't know his way home
We would have been lost by now
If you looked past my pride
What would you see hiding behind
Oh, wouldn't you still be blind?

So why try?
So why try?
So why try?
So why try?

If the fear of ever losing you
Wasn't greater than that of never having you
If only love wasn't what I defined it to be
And was just what it is that I feel
I would try (nothing as such)
I would try (uh, that soft touch)
I would try (standing still)
I would try (do you feel at ease?)

So why try? (the wind blows fierce)
So why try? (get rid of the shield)
So why try? (speaking crying out)
So why try? (each whisper sounds so loud)

Go ahead and put the truth to sleep
What the night makes you forget
Comes back as the day begins
