…the ones you love
They look down on you
They look down on you
[Chorus]
I swear I never tried so hard
Now I find myself living up…
…]
I swear I never tried so hard
Now I find myself living up on the stars
Your last, swear I never thought so hard
Now I find…
…myself leaving to see the stars
At night, we never tried so hard
Now we find ourselves leaving to see the stars
Tonight, leave some…

…been so easy
You've never tried so hard to please me
It's never been so easy
You've never tried so hard to please me
And when you…

…to understand
Never tried so hard to be your girl
The kind of girl you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again
Beggin…
…' on, beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby now
Beggin' on, beggin' you
Put your lovin' hand out baby
I need you to understand
Never tried…
…so hard to be your girl
The kind of girl you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again…

…[Verse 1]
You and me could be a mistake, it been feeling right though
Never tried so hard not to spend the night so
You say you…

Like I feel
There's no better way to heal
I've never tried to hard
I've never tried so hard in the field
How many trials and different ways to go
But I never knew baby
Just know...

We'll I've never been so low on love
And I know I never hurt so bad
I never tried so hard
Just to see it fall apart
Just…

…will find a place alone
He says he just could not make her happy
That he never tried so hard before
He'd wake up first and make the coffee
Now…

And all this distance can't
Match my persistance, no
And if it's in my hands
There's no way we're through
I've never tried so…
…hard
Or wanted it so bad
It's why i'm dying to get to you
Remember nights we spent
Barely an inch between us
We could not care less…

I never tried so hard, or gone so far
I built myself to be deserving of your attention
Did I even mention?
How blind I'd been…

…is run
And I feel like Icarus except I've never tried so hard
From the start
I had a reasonably sad
Sick little heart
All the diseases
They make it easy
All the diseases
They make it easy…

…each other's great disaster.
I never tried so hard or fell so far.
So what's your story now?
Did your new lover say goodbye?
Call…

…the stars tonight dying one by one
Living by a light that's already done
Never tried so hard
Oh I'm hunting what I can't see
I feel…

He never tried so hard
Never tried so long
Something he had dreams of
For something he had longed for
He never climbed so high
He…

…disappointed
Yeah, yeah
Same guy
Spitting different rhymes
Someday I'll catch you disappointed
Disappointed
I never tried so hard…

…dreams
Private thoughts just to you
My head liked private ways
I've never tried so hard before
I've really nothing left to say (I've really nothing ELSE to say)…
