Trying Too Hard Lyrics

Verse 1

I never should have said the things I said

In the way I did

A moment of madness, Greek tragedy sadness

I lost the plot

And you, you looked at me as if I was someone else

Not quite believing, deceived & reeling

You turned away lost

Oh...I know its true

Chorus

It’s the everyday things that matter

Like easy fun & laughter

It’s the simple stuff we take for granted

Those little things that always happen

Verse 2

The awkward silence & vacant stares

Are hard to penetrate.

What’s the way back, to hard to pay back

When you feel such a fool

Trying, trying to hard to make it alright

That always backfires, seems to light fires

The ones we thought were out

Oh...I know its true

Chorus

It’s the everyday things that matter

Like easy fun & laughter

It’s the simple stuff we take for granted

Those little things that always happen

Verse 3

A surprise moment of shared humour

Breaks a smile

Tentative probing, soft words are spoken

It’s been awhile

And you, you look at me with a curious eye

I look back, desperate to take back all the things I said

Oh...we know its true

Chorus

It’s the everyday things that matter

Like easy fun & laughter

It’s the simple stuff we take for granted

Those little things that always happen
