We Try Lyrics

If you think this is goodbye
Well, you may be right
But it's hard to say for sure
If you come around again
Don't expect that we'll be friends

If you could only please define
Where I crossed the line
And which excuses I once sold
Now that the illusion's gone
I don't do what I'm told

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over again

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over

It's just a shame, you say, so many wasted days
All the clever things we said
And if it isn't quite a crime
It's a lot of time
Tell me who came out ahead

And though we've heard it all before
It's not there anymore
We need something we can feel
We think we understand
We hold it in our hands
Just to find it isn't real

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over again

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over again

We try
We try
Pretend and then it's over
