about

'Trying Too Hard' is about saying something stupid.

lyrics

Trying Too Hard

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 and reeling...you turned away lost.

Chorus
Oh, I know it's true...
It's the everyday things that matter
Like easy fun and laughter
It's the simple stuff we take for granted
Those little things that always happen

The awkward silence and vacant stares are hard to penetrate
What's the way back, too hard to pay back when you feel such a fool
Trying, trying too hard to make it alright
That always backfires, seems to light fires, the ones we thought were out.

A surprise moment of shared humour breaks a smile
Tentative probing, soft words are spoken, it's been a while
And you...you look at me with a curious eye
I look back, desperate to take back all the things I said.
