Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe
'Cause it's a long, long week for someone wired to please
I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher
Wanna shine bright, even brighter now
Wish I could tell myself
[Verse 2]
Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you his love and he's not leaving
Gave you his son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard
[Verse 3]
Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids ?
Oh, we didn't think much about it, we just lived
Taking our time, beautiful leisure
When do we start, trying to measure up
When all of this time, love has been trying to tell us
[Verse 4]
Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you his love and he's not leaving
Gave you his son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
[Verse 5]
Don't try so hard
God gives you grace, you can't earn it
Stop thinking you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you his love and he's not leaving
Gave you his son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Lovely the way you are
So open up your lovely heart
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
