Why Even Try

Everything that I ever start seems to have
 Its 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 somethings 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
 The damage is done
 So why even try?
 Everyone fears that they're not enough
 I'm just afraid that it's permanent
 That I'm permanently broken
 Permanently broken
 Fragile hearts in these fragile times
 Often break before they ever find
 That there's hope inside of these shadowlands
 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?
 You don't have to do this all on your own
 This fragile life that you hold is too heavy to carry alone
 So why even try?
 All of the doubts
 All of the lies
 All of the tears that you've cried
 Are too heavy to carry alone
 So why even try?
