Why Do I Try Lyrics

I will not allow us,
To rot, wither foul, or to fade,
On account of your dream,
That baby would be likely made.

I'll father all this weight,
I'll take a pound or two,
Than lay it on a son,
To light another fuse,
I will not allow him,
To rot, wither, foul, or to fade.


All the thoughts,
Bedding down for the night.

Help me out,
I would love for you to,
Every night,
It was black or was blue,
Make haste leaving,
Make haste, leave or go,
On and on….

Tell me why do you try hanging on?

I had brought into the thought,
Of a wish, plan and state,
On account of your dream that,
Our meeting could be more than fate.

I'll father all this weight,
I'll take a pound or two,
Than lay it on a son,
To light another fuse,
I will not allow him,
To rot, wither, foul, or to fade.

Help me out,
I would love for you to,
Every night,
It was black or was blue,
Make haste leaving,
Make haste, leave or go,
On and on….

Tell me why do you try hanging on?
