I hate the way

That you make me feel

That's the look on your face

That's how quiet I've been

Why do we try?

Oh, why, why do we

Try?

You sleep through the night

I sleep through the day

See how we can compromise

Everything's gonna be OK

Why do we try?

Oh, why, why do we, try?

Oh, why, why do we try?

Oh, why, why do we try?

If the weight of this all

Is too much by now

The rest of my life

Might be too long

I know I've changed

Watched myself slip away

I've compromised

Everything's gonna be all right

Why do we try?

Oh, why, why do we try?

Oh, oh, why do we try?

Oh, why, why do we try?

Oh, why do we try?

If the weight of this all

Is too much by now

The rest of my life

Might be too long

I know I've changed

Watched myself slip away

I've compromised

Everything's gonna be all right

I compromised

I compromised

Everything's gonna be all right
