Songs I Write | IV

Try Again

When the one person you want to talk to leaves
When all you have is a bleeding heart and your little jeans on and you've got no one to see
When the one person you want doesn't want you back
When you're spending your Friday night hooked up on a guy who isn't gonna change his mind

What are you doing, little girl?
Naive and frightened, you are still

Spouting about how much you've grown up
Fighting these battles with thieves until you're worn out
And you'll try again
But what will you do when there's no one left?

When the one person you'd take a shot to the brain for decides you're not worth it anymore
When the one person you think it might work with, or the one you thought would stay

What are you doing, little girl?
Naively, you believe in a boy
Said you saw God in him
As they nailed you down
Said you saw God in him
Guess that explains why he's not here now

Spouting about how much you've grown up
Fighting these battles with thieves until you're worn out
And you'll try again
Hiding till you're bored, and you walk unarmed bare-feet
Killing yourself while you kiss on the backstreet
And you'll try it again
But what will you do when there's no one left?

What are you doing? I wouldn't know
What were you thinking? I lost control
What are you doing? I'd be the last to figure it out
What are you doing? You're still a little girl, you don't age by the tears that fall down

Spouting about how much you've grown up
Fighting these battles with thieves until you're worn out
And you'll try again
Spouting about how much you've grown up
Fighting these battles with thieves until you're worn out
And you'll try but time and time again Spouting about how much you've grown up
Fighting these battles with thieves until you're worn out
And you'll try again

When the one person you want doesn't want you back
When you're spending your Friday night hooked up on a guy who isn't gonna change his mind

What are you doing, little girl?
Naive and frightened
You'll try again
