Why Try

Yeah we gave it our best shot

So it’s probably best not

To open old wounds

And to pour salt in 'em

We had our problems

We couldn’t solve 'em

Maybe we woulda

If we'd just listened

Now here we are in the same bar

Acting like you didn’t throw my shit

In the front yard

Acting like you didn’t call your sister

From your car

And drive away

Why try

If we couldn’t make it work the first time

Why lie

And say that the good was worth all the worst nights

Why try if we’ll end up hurt

If we’ll only make a bad thing worse

I’ll end up storming out

And lord knows you’re gonna cry

So why try

Why try

Why try

Striking up on an old flame

If we know that old pain

Is gonna come right back with it

Saying all of the same things

Talk about changing

When we know that it won’t be different

End up back in the same bar

Acting like you didn’t throw my shit

In the front yard

Acting like you didn’t put a hole in a good heart

And drive away

Yeah

Why try

If we couldn’t make it work the first time

Why lie

And say that the good was worth all the worst nights

Why try if we’ll end up hurt

If we’ll only make a bad thing worse

I’ll end up storming out

And lord knows you’re gonna cry

So why try

Why try

Why try

If we couldn’t make it work the first time

Why lie

And say that the good was worth all the worst nights

Why try if we’ll end up hurt

If we’ll only make a bad thing worse

I’ll end up storming out

And lord knows you’re gonna cry

So why try

Why try

Why try
