lyrics

Well, I listened to the records
That you slid under my door
And they wrecked me so completely
I can’t listen anymore
To the worried way you warn me
As you slowly stroke my hair
Don’t do this, dear
It isn’t fair

So I hole up in the corners
With my truth sweetly concealed
When they hug me at the picnics
No imbalance is revealed
I’m the pretty paper doll
That will impress when they arrive
But here inside
I’m still alive

CHORUS:
I’m sorry, it’s your party
But both of us will shatter
If I am why you start to cry
And although I can’t be your candy
I’ll sugarcoat my story
And repress the reasons why
Because I’m all out of try

You’re go good at looking busy
When I try to catch your eye
There’s an edge to all things happy
So we numb it in a lie
While the His and Hers who own us
Sun from porcelain to brown
Can’t let them know I’ve let you down

CHORUS

Try a little harder. Make it easy on me, Dear
Try and understand I don’t know where to put this fear
Try the familiar so I don’t have to explain
Please try for me ‘cause I will never have your chance to try again

Because I’m all out of try
Because I’m all out of try
