Trying Too Hard Lyrics

You forget yourself, yeah
You're somebody else
The flaws I felt for you
You only want to perfect
Beneath the mask such a need to protect
Desperate to show me how well you can pretend

Trying too hard
You're trying too hard to earn my love
Playing yourself, pushing me away
Trying too hard to earn what was already in your arms
Trying too hard
Yeah, yeah
You're trying too hard

Where's your innocence?
Has it been lost?
Can't fit in
Where you don't belong
And you'll never fit me inside of your box
You're too controlling to ever get what you want

Trying too hard
You're trying too hard to earn my love
Playing yourself, pushing me away
Trying too hard to earn what was already in your arms
Trying too hard
Yeah, yeah
You're trying too hard

I just want to know who you are

I just want to know who you are
I just want to know who you are
I just want to know who you are
I just want to know who you are

Trying too hard
You're trying too hard to earn my love
Playing yourself, pushing me away
Trying too hard to earn what was already in your arms
Trying too hard
Yeah, yeah
Trying too hard
Trying too hard
Trying too hard, too hard, too hard, too hard
