Try to Try Again

It's easier
To kiss a stranger than it is to kiss a friend
It's easier to say goodbye
When you know that it's the end
And it's hard to know just where you stand
Anymore
Anymore

I tried so hard
To give you loving that I never gave you love
I tried so hard to keep you happy
That I hurt you when I shoved
You away
In the end

When you were down I tried to pick you up
When you were dry I tried to fill your cup
But I could never seem to fill it high enough
It was always half empty for you
If you think you can stand
To have me as just a friend
Well, we can try to try again

When we were younger
It was okay
For you to like me in that way
But now I can hardly bear to stay
With your crazy feelings pushing me away

Seems to me
That maybe finally your heart has settled down
But now you treat me like you hate me
When you deign to come around
What am I supposed to do?

I decide
To keep my distance in the hope that it'll please you
But then you call me up demanding
Why I never want to see you
Anymore
Anymore

Well, when you were down I tried to pick you up
When you were dry I tried to fill your cup
But I could never seem to fill it high enough
It was always half empty for you
If you think you can stand
To have me as just a friend
Well, we can try to try again

If I could like you in that way
You know I would
But since I don't already
How can you think that I should?
It would be more effective
If you were less selective
Maybe we could be less formal
If you acted normal for a change

Well, when you were down I tried to pick you up
When you were dry I tried to fill your cup
But I could never seem to fill it high enough
It was always half empty for you
If you think you can stand
To have me as just a friend
Well, we can try to try again

If you think you can stand
To have me as just a friend
Well, we can try to try
We can try to try
We can try to try
Again
