I hate the way That you make me feel That's the look on your face That's how quiet I've been Why do we try? Oh, why? Why do we try? You sleep through the night I sleep through the day See how we compromise Everything's gonna be okay Why do we try? Oh, why? Why do we try? Oh Why do we try? Oh Why do we try? Oh If the weight of this all Too much by now Rest of my life Might be tonight I know I've changed Watched myself slip away I compromised Everything's gonna be alright Why do we try? Oh, why? Why do we try? Oh Why do we try? Oh Why do we try? Oh If the weight of this all Too much by now Rest of my life Might be tonight I know I've changed Watched myself slip away I compromised Everything's gonna be alright I compromised I compromised Everything is gonna be alright
