Colony House - Why Even Try lyrics

Everything that I ever start seems to
Have it's day, then it falls apart like it's
Almost good and it's almost right but I
Miss the mark and I lose the fight

So why do I even try?

To keep my head held high arms open wide
Heart full, clear eyes if I live, if I die
The damage is done why even try?

People say some things never change
The way they are is the way they stay
Wouldn't I like to
Disagree but I'm dancing with the fire
And the fire keeps burning me

So why do I even try?

To keep my head held high arms open wide
Heart full, clear eyes if I live, if I die
Oh, the damage is done so why even try?

Everyone's scared that they're not enough
I'm just afraid that it's permanent
That I'm permanently broken
Permanently broken, ooh ooh

Fragile hearts in these fragile times
Often break before they
Ever find that there's
Hope inside of this shadowland
Written in the sky and stone
And printed on our hands

So why do I always
Measure the truth with the
Weight of a lie? Nothing's
Broken inside of me for good
I'm healing in time the way I should

I can see it if I keep my head held high
Arms open wide heart full, clear eyes
All the doubts, all the lies
Are too heavy to hold so why even try?
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Whoo, you don't have to do
This all on your own (Oh oh oh oh oh)
This fragile life that you hold
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Is too heavy to carry alone so why even try?
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Mmm, all of the doubts, all of the lies
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
All of the fears, all of the tears
Tears that you've cried
Are too heavy to carry alone
So why even try?
