Everybody Tries

You got a tattoo for every one that’s come and gone
Like the needle keeps you numb to the  pain
Scars just to mark who has done you wrong
I used to swear I would never do the same

No secret, you dive head first into love
When we speak, I know you can’t stand to wait
You’re just trying to survive, close your eyes, skydive or
Whatever it takes

Who am I to lie?
Everybody tries, I’d give you some time but
Then we feel it twice
And I rеalize
We both need advice causе
It’s easy to feel alone

Why are we surprised? we know we demise
When we’re given life
But apparently we’re blind, we’re just good at hiding
Beneath the lights
It’s easy to feel at home

Now I just wanna be clearheaded
Could’ve lost my mind, forget it
Been back and forth playing love like tennis
Went back for more turned to Armageddon
But

Life’s just a carousel, ain’t it?
Real fun til the ride stops spinnin’
Feel pain then we hide our feelings
But I know the race ain’t a photo finish

Life’s just show and tell, I admit it
Thank God, when I breathe I know Heaven sent it
Picturing me on the Rolling Stone cover
Sip Hennessy, I just pray I recover

I used to count my minutes
Sat back in class, thought it never would finish
Making sure I can take care of my children, their children, their children
I pray that they listen cause

(everyday it’s
It’s a day to day game
How could you save me?
When you feel the same way?) x2
