Try Too Hard Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
You follow every line, you wear your perfect patch and style
But you're like a satellite and you're drifting 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 favorite 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
'Cause everything you want, everything you do
You try so hard to be everyone but you
Everywhere you turn, you just got to learn
It's easier if you don't try so hard
[Chorus]
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 too hard
You just try too hard
You try too hard

[Chorus]
And it's people like us that make me sick
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?

[Outro]
You try too hard
You just try too hard

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
