[Intro]

Why do I

Why do I try

Why do I try to go the extra mile?

[Verse 1]

I sit in my car

With no intent of going inside

I got a lot on my mind

Don't show it

I'm on the brink of collapse

Found grey hairs I've never noticed

The reward ain't worth the risk

Being extra for no bonus

Lost the plot

Overestimated

And where did that get me?

Tacking on

Responsibility

I can't do everything by myself

Constantly sign myself up for failure

When deep down, I'm just saving face

[Chorus]

I'm such a try hard

Take on more than I can handle

Need some time off

Yeah, I almost fooled myself

What am I on?

Who am I tryna impress

How many miles gone?

I'm such a try hard

[Verse 2]

Wasting away in bed all day

Doomscrolling through my phone, home page burned in my screen

Stunting my personal growth, no motivation

Give me a boost or something

It’s hard to stay productive

Put off my to-do list, duck it

If they could see my

Value, maybe it would bring back my drive

It'd get rid of the bags under my eyes

I wish I could say I’ll age like fine wine

Kills my whole vibe

What have I done?

Damage's irreversible, don’t know what’s worse

Become a bum

Or letting them pile work on me? Have dignity

What’s good enough?

I just want to be stress-free, protect my peace

Feel I was snubbed

Didn’t get a trophy, quit the boasting

Instead, I look dumb

[Chorus]

I'm such a try hard

Take on more than I can handle

Need some time off

Yeah, I almost fooled myself

What am I on?

Who am I tryna impress

How many miles gone?

I'm such a try hard

Take on more than I can handle

Need some time off

Yeah, I almost fooled myself

What am I on?

Who am I tryna impress

How many miles gone?

I'm such a try hard

(I'm such a try hard)

[Bridge]

Up high

Walking on a tight rope tryna find my

Balance, lately I've been weighing both sides

Worried that one day I'll finally flatline

All for my pride

[Chorus]

I'm such a try hard

Take on more than I can handle

Need some time off

Yeah, I almost fooled myself

What am I on?

Who am I tryna impress

How many miles gone?

I'm such a try hard, yeah
