But We Try

Doing our dance again

Same as it's always been

We know where it always ends

But we act surprised

You accuse, I react

We collide, then detach

Caught up in cycles

We didn't start

But we try

But we try

What are we trying to prove

What else is there to lose

Try we try we try

Dropping bombs

Keeping score

Seems its all

We're good for

Aim and shoot

Innocence

Always first to die

Fighting for grains of sand

As they fall through our hands

Irony? It's a beach

We don't care

But we try

But we try

What are we trying to prove

What else is there to lose

Try we try we try

But we try

Burning hearts light our way through the dark

Yeah we try

Hoping it ain't for nothing

Yeah we try

Even when it seems hopeless

We can't let go of us so

We try
