Try as I might
To keep myself distant
Try as I might
To keep myself through the night
Try as I might
To tell myself it doesn't matter
Try as I might
My trying doesn't work
Try as I might
Betrayal doesn't hurt less
Try as I might
I still get attached
Try as I might
I keep getting hurt
Try as I might
The numbness doesn't come
Try as I might
My heart keeps on beating
Try as I might
My heart won't quit caring
Try as I might
My lungs keep on breathing
Try as I might
To deprive them of that breath
Try as I might
Hurting still hurts
Try as I might
People are still human
Try as I might
It still doesn't seem to matter
Try as I might
My choices again seem to be the wrong ones
