T-R-Y-I-N-G

Tonight I try to get at her
Pick her brain a bit
but she don't budge
I can't help
but try and try some more
feeling like a whore 
trying some more
sometimes I can't
help to take her away
from all of her pain
you know?

Well of course you don't
She goes out to smoke 
and I collapse again

I can't tell you why
but you don't begin again
to ask who she is
and they say eww
(I want to kill them lol)
I can make her world 
or break it if she wants
but I just want her happiness
and by this time
she's on the other line 
so I got to go, you know?

Well of course you don't
She goes out to smoke
and I relax for once
(or collapse again)
