Try too hard
Verse 1
You follow every line, you wear your perfect patch and style
But you're like a satellite and you're driftin? through the sky
You can't make up your mind about this or that, or anything at all
So you go with the flow and hope to God that no one knows it
Pre-Chorus
Everything you are, everything you say
Everything you do is not for you
Everything you feel, everything you know
You found it on your favourite TV show
Chorus
And it's people like you that make me sick
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
Verse 2
You're telling everyone how different that you really are
But it's been said before, so maybe you're not special after all
If you put the same amount of effort into letting go
Just act yourself and you might like it, you never know
Pre-Chorus
?cause everything you want, everything you do
You try so hard to be everyone but you
Everywhere you turn, you just gotta learn
It's easier if you don't try so hard
Chorus
(2x)
And it's people like you that make me sick
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
Is there somewhere I can go to get away
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
Bridge
You try so too hard
You just try too hard
You try too hard
Chorus
And it's people like us that make me sad
I'm surrounded by it everywhere I look
Is there somewhere we can go to get away
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
