well you stay up all night
pills and coffee
you keep pushing yourself just to get ahead
and you knock so loud, but nothing will answer
just a waste of time, but you won't admit
you're just trying too hard
like a verse that's lost and no words to find it
like a teenage kid that just can't fit in
and the struggle's long, your patience gone
just a slap in the face when the day is done
you're just trying too hard
