Why Even Try - Colony House

Everything that I

Ever start seems to

Have its day, then it

Falls apart like it’s

Almost good and it’s

Almost right but I

Miss the mark and I

Lose the fight

So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y

To keep my head held high

Arms open wide

Heart full, clear eyes

If I live, if I die

The damage is done

Why even try-y-y?

People say some things

Never change

The way they are is the

Way they stay

Wouldn’t I like to

Disagree but I’m dancing with the fire

And the fire keeps burning me

So, why-y-y do I-I-I even try-y-y

To keep my head held high

Arms open wide

Heart full, clear eyes

If I live, if I die

Oh, the damage is done

So why even try-y-y?

Everyone scared that they’re not enough

I’m just afraid that it’s permanent

That I’m permanently broken

Permanently broken, ooh-ooh

Fragile hearts in these

Fragile times

Often break before they

Ever find that there’s

Hope inside of this shadowland

Written in the sky and stone and printed on our hands

So why-y-y do I-I-I always

Measure the truth with the

Weight of a lie?

Nothing’s

Broken inside of me for good

I’m healing in time the way I should

I can see it if I keep my head held hi-igh

Arms open wide

Heart full, clear eyes

All the doubts, all the lies

Are too heavy to hold so why even try-y-y?

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Whoo!

You don’t have to do this all on your own (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

This fragile life that you hold (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Is too heavy to carry alone so why even try?

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Mmm, all of the doubts, all of the lies (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

All of the fears, all of the tears tears that you’ve cried

Are too heavy to carry alone

So why even try?
