Try Harder
I looked through my window
Rain hitting shadows of the
Places that I look
Making it difficult
To breathe that fresh air
What got me here
I tried so much harder
Thought that I'd done better
Knees by my face I sit
Thoughts In my head
Feeling the opposite
Of what I just said
"I'm fine" was a lie I told
Over again
To not make you worry
So that you'd be happier
And I gave you all I had
But somehow
It's just not enough
I'm sorry I can't be that
That girl that you
Thought I was
I really tried
To make it right
To give you more than I'd ever gotten
I pushed it father
My mind got darker
I guess that I'll just have
Have to try hardеr
I heard my phone ringing
Ringing through both my ears
Fingеrs are shaking
While I try to stop my tears
To pick up the phone [Hello?
Smile like I know
I tried so much harder
I thought I'd done better
Way too much empathy
Is What I got told
Look after yourself you see
Or you'll get old
But sympathy's different
For telling me that
Cause my hearts attached
So that they'll be happier
And I gave you all I had
But somehow
It's just not enough
I'm sorry I can't be that
That girl that you
Thought I was
I really tried
To make it right
To give you more than I'd ever gotten
I pushed it father
My mind got darker
I guess that I'll just have
Have to try harder
I look at myself in my mirror
Once In a while
I swear my waist hasn't gotten thinner
That's just my style
And I gave you all I had
But somehow
It's just not enough
I'm sorry I can't be that
That girl that you
Thought I was
I really tried
To make it right
To give you more than I'd ever gotten
I pushed it father
My mind got darker
I guess that I'll just have
Have to try harder
Rain hitting shadows of the
Places that I look
Making it difficult
To breathe that fresh air
What got me here
I tried so much harder
Thought that I'd done better
Knees by my face I sit
Thoughts In my head

And I gave you all I had

I'm sorry I can't be that
