Or So I Try…

By Walter Lee

First Part

Today Seems To Be Just One Of Those Days/

Where Everything Doesn't Seem To Always Go Your Way/

And You Sit Back And Wish That It Was Yesterday/

But Yesterday Can't Come Cause It Just Ain't The Same/

So That's The Type Of Game We All Are Forced To Play/

Leaving You Sitting There With Nothing To Say/

But That's All Right, That's Cool, That's Okay/

I'll Just Have To Adjust To Make Things Go My Way/

Or So I Try…

Chorus

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Will I Ever Get Back Up Again/

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Is Life Always This Tough

Second Part

Well That's Just Great, Now I Can Go Outside/

But I Still Have To Try And Swallow All Of My Pride/

Which Keeps On Eating Up My Fragile Inside/

Like A Monster Whose Mouth Is About Six Feet Wide/

So That Should Tell You How To Live Your Life/

You Shouldn't Just Sit Back And Enjoy The Ride/

What You Should Do Is Take Over And Drive/

And Prove To The Public That You Have Nothing To Hide/

Or So I Try…

Chorus

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Will I Ever Get Back Up Again/

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Is Life Always This Tough

Third Part

Hear Me Out Now. I Want You To Listen./

Go Get Directions When You Need Assistance/

Humans Always Die With Unfinished Business/

Don't Pretend That You Never Knew This Existed/

Well That's Cool, As Long As You Can Admit To It/

And You Don't Become Another Helpless Innocent/

This Adds More Wrong To The Incident/

Like A Sinner That's Looking To Repent/

Or So I Try…

Chorus

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Will I Ever Get Back Up Again/

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back And Wonder, Is Life Always This Tough

Chorus

I Try So Hard, Even When I'm Down On My Luck/

I Sit Back
