Theophilus London - Why Even Try lyrics

rate me

you stole my heart like a thief in the night

stopped in *your* tracks in the middle of the fight

don't make it right- let the brimstones burn

i’ll let you live yours, now let me have my turn

i bet you thought, thinking you could stop time

a few hours ahead baby girl not mine

well look ahead i know you see the stop signs

blind men know, it’s not green all the time

you're driving me insane mrs. rain cloud

I'm going on the road, took the same route

now i’m tryna u-turn on the way out

the fire all around us is played out

standing on all fours on the bed

they say some things is better not said

*but* i'll paint you red and stick horns on your head

i'll paint you red and stick horns on your head

if you think you’re special, you’re probably not

why even try (why even try)

just living a lie (living a lie)

never been like that (never been like that)

*so* why even try why even try to change

okay okay mrs rain cloud

make the sun shine til the days out

you’re not alone, call my name out

but what if, there’s no way out

and no, your words arent audible

reception is bad when i’m calling you

confusion, and it’s the thought of you

you’re no spy, i’m onto you

this letter was written in bitter form

so read carefully, don’t get it wrong

see thats us, but thats gone

the scarecrows, in the back lawn

thats another dress, well put that on

i keep it real, is that wrong?

i'll paint you red and stick horns on your head

i'll paint you red and stick horns on your head

if you think you’re special, you’re probably not

why even try (why even try)

just living a lie (living a lie)

never been like that (never been like that)

*so* why even try why even try to change

making little sunshine

til the days out

making your sunshine

til your calling my name out

what if there’s not a simple way out

reception is bad and you’re calling me now

never been like that

never be like that

break

if you think you’re special, you’re probably not

why even try (why even try)

just living a lie (living a lie)

never been like that (never been like that)

*so* why even try why even try to change
