Still The Same

Try Too Hard

Try Too Hard...

I go the extra mile,

Skip the extra line.

Most of the things I say,

Hide my biggest lie, That I'm fine.

People call me crazy,

For chasing something I mean nothing in.

I guess now,

Trying is a sin.

I don't ask for help,

So don't try to fix me.

I let other's take my smile,

My smile's not something to see.

I've been pushed and shoved, and all around hurt,

But I don't care about that.

I still want to help,

Your sadness is my trap.

I guess you could say I try too hard,

To help others.

But...

That can happen when you go through too much,

I give more than I can take and I still think it's not enough.

I give and give,

But I'll never take back.

I sometimes hope,

That if I help enough it will fill the crack.

I try too hard.

I guess I'll admit it.

I try too hard.

But I'll never accept it.

Don't try to make me smile,

Or say that I'm okay.

Don't say that I'm perfect,

And that I'll find my way.

I've already come to terms,

With what I do.

I try to fix everything else,

Like I tried for you.

I try too hard.

I've used my last card.

I walk on the thinnest line.

But I'm still going to say that I'm fine.
