[Intro]

(Build your walls, advertise on them)

(Can't get in, can't get out from them)

(Build your walls, advertise on them)

(Can't get in, can't get out from them)

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Could've been, could've been but a swing and a miss put me down on my knees

Should've seen, should've seen the extent of relentless pursuit for a dream

Probably, probably should try and make peace with my naivety

Yeah, but it's hard sometimes, I'm still tryna work out why

Yeah, it's seeming to me there's a playbook I neglected to read

When I see somebody with the spark I lost, it's hard to believe

Like the gleam and the sheen when you enter a room, they all know what I mean

But for all those eyes, all behold a different sight

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, the irony

You're never seen quite how you're tryna be

For sure, it gets to me, but

Don't worry, I can worry silently

[Chorus]

And if I get another chance, then I won't miss

I got a little response saved up for this

A little skeleton key, all-purpose fix

'Cause if you're tryna show the king for what he is

[Post-Chorus]

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

When did we make the deal for fully forsaking truth for belief?

In a world like that, you'll only find truth in what you perceive

In fact, does it mean personality's like mystery meat? (Eugh)

Chew it through, who do you think I am to you?

It's easy to see, there's a foolproof way if you want to succeed

Tell everybody of grand achievements and absent defeats

And especially shout anyone else down when they try speak

Build your walls, advertise on them

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, it's hard to miss

Each time we talk, you're looking for profit

For sure, I'm prepared for it, but

Honestly, I'm pretty over this

Over this, over this, over this

[Chorus]

And if I get another chance, then I won't miss

I got a little response saved up for this

A little skeleton key, all-purpose fix

'Cause if you're tryna show the king for what he is

[Post-Chorus]

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

I'm tired of pretending that it ain't how it is

Conversation ain't a competition to win

Sometimes I just wanna talk about what I like

Instead of turning friendships into fights to survive

Build your walls, advertise on them

Can't get in, can't get out from them

Build your walls, advertise on them

Well, aren't you sick of being sold?

[Chorus]

'Cause if I get another chance, then I won't miss

I got a little response saved up for this

A little skeleton key, all-purpose fix

'Cause if you're tryna show the king for what he is

[Post-Chorus]

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard

Tryhard

[Outro]

I'm tired of pretending that it ain't how it is

Conversation ain't a competition to win

Sometimes I just wanna talk about what I like

Instead of turning friendships into fights to survive

Build your walls, advertise on them

Can't get in, can't get out from them

Build your walls, advertise on them

Can't get in, can't get out from them
