Lyrics
[Bass intro]
!.!..!...!.!.!.!..!...._!
[Verse]
Staring at the walls, feeling so alone,
Used to be your everything, now I'm on my own.
Tried to hold on tight, but you slipped away,
Can't help but wonder, where did we go astray?
Every word we shared, now feels like a lie,
Wish I could turn back time, and give it one more try.
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my heart, but you let it fall apart,
Now I'm picking up the pieces in the dark.
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard? (Why do I try?)
When you're not there to catch me when I fall.
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
When you're not listening to my call.
(Try so hard, try so hard, but you're slipping away.
Why do I even care anymore?
Why do I even care?)
[Intrumental interlude]
[Verse]
I remember when your eyes were filled with fire,
Now they're just cold, like you've lost your desire.
I've been holding on, but I'm losing my grip,
Can't seem to find the words, so I let them slip.
Remember the nights we talked until the dawn?
Now we sit in silence, like something's gone.
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my all, but you watched me as I fall,
Now I'm left here standing against the wall.
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard? (Why do I try?)
When you're not there to catch me when I fall.
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
When you're not listening to my call.
(Try so hard, try so hard, but you're slipping away.
Why do I even care anymore?
Why do I even care?)
[Bridge]
Lost in the shadows of what used to be,
Can't find my way back to you, can't you see?
I'm screaming out, but you're not listening,
Why do I try so hard? Why do I even care anymore?
[Verse]
Your touch used to ignite a fire deep within,
Now it's just a memory, fading with the wind.
Dreams turned to dust, as we drifted apart,
Left me questioning if you ever truly had a heart.
[Break]
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard? (Why do I try?)
When you're not there to catch me when I fall.
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
When you're not listening to my call.
(Try so hard, try so hard, but you're slipping away.)
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
[Intrumental interlude]
[Verse]
I see your smile, but it’s not meant for me,
Feels like I’m a stranger, someone you don’t see.
All the plans we made, now they're just a ghost,
Lost in the emptiness, what hurts me the most.
Every laugh we shared, now it's just a faded dream,
Living in the silence, want to break the seams.
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my soul, but you left me in the cold,
Now I'm drowning in the lies that you’ve told.
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard? (Why do I try?)
When you're not there to catch me when I fall.
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
When you're not listening to my call.
(Try so hard, try so hard, but you're slipping away.)
Why do I even care anymore? (Why do I even care?)
[Instrumental outro]
Thought we had a love that could withstand the storm,
But now I see I was just another norm.
[Spoken]
Why did I try so hard?
