We Still Try Lyrics

every now and then I pretend
that you and me aren't so different
but what we've come to expect
is a lack of remorse and of regret

but the truth is we both miss
the time we spent
investing in our new sins
cause we're trying to forget

sooner or later
the sooner the better
the better off we'll be be

this might be unforgivable
but just give us time, just give us time
and we might be irredeemable
but we still try, we still try

every now and then I pretend
that we'll admit we're average at best
but my lack of common sense
keeps me firmly in your head

surrounded by people we don't need
and all the things you'll never keep
when you call for help that's when you'll see
you don't know the first thing about

sooner or later
but not for the better
you're becoming more like me

don't think this comes with ease
tell me you're trying to make this work
don't complain if you've got nowhere else to be
tell me you're trying to make this work
