Trying Doesn’t Change a Thing

I let you see my broken parts
That is always how it starts
Gave you one inch, you took all of me
Then we played the game of fools
Somehow you wrote all the rules
This is only fun for one of us

Fool me twice so shame on me
This is not what love should be
Too afraid to move or breathe
You have such a hold on me

I am trying not to pity myself
It's bad for my health
And I am trying to break free
But trying doesn't change a thing

I let you underneath my skin
The beginning of the end
Most regrets don't come this easily
Playеd your games inside my mind
Then you liеd and lied and lied
Words designed to poison one of us

Now you haunt my waking dreams
This is not what love should be
Too afraid to move or breathe
You have such a hold on me

I am trying not to pity myself
It's bad for my health
And I am trying to break free
But trying doesn't change a thing
No no no

Trying doesn't change
Trying doesn't change a thing
Unless I leave
I'm trying to find the strength
Trying to find the strength to leave
But you have such a hold on me

I am trying not to pity myself
It's bad for my health
And I am trying to break free
But trying doesn't change a thing
