Trying Too Hard

Well it’s hard for kids like us to grow up
Our nostalgia comforts us
The world’s so dangerous out there
You’ve tried your best to care
Before the pressure takes hold of us
The world’s puppeteering us
I’m right here
Although you haven’t said a word
I can hear your problems loud and clear
So can you see straight?
Or do I need more silver paint?
(or do i need more silver paint?)
If you’re a cold blooded freak
Or a hot headed creep
Sing it loud
I’ll regret what I’ll say
Bring it up anyway
Don’t mind me
I’m just thinking out loud
Though our sight’s on the stars
We won’t get very far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
(Am I trying too hard?)
Well we all know when push comes to shove
Feeling insignificant
To life’s indifference to all
I’ll help you break your fall
From the mindless attention-getters
You could do so much better
I’m right here
Although i haven’t said a word
It’s clear, i’m just another mirror
So can you see straight?
Maybe i need more silver paint?
(silver paint, silver paint, silver paint)
If you’re a cold blooded freak
Or a hot headed creep
Sing it proud
I would change everything
Would that change anything?
Don’t mind me
I’m just thinking out loud
Though our sight’s on the stars
We won’t get very far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
All your antics can come off as bizarre
You know it’s possible to push it too far
You never knew that acts could be too loud
What does it mean to be picked out in a crowd?
We’re the fools
We lose our cool
And fall away
From all the shame
So when in doubt
It’s easier to cut the act
If you’re a cold blooded freak
Or a hot headed creep
Sing it Proud
I would change everything
Would that change anything?
Don’t mind me
I’m just thinking out loud
(Am I trying too hard?)
Though our sight’s on the stars
We won’t get very far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
So tell me is this enough?
Tell me if it’s too much
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
I’ll regret what I say
Bring it up anyway
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
You’re a cold blooded freak
I’m a hot headed creep
Am I trying too Hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)
You’re a cold blooded freak
I’m a hot headed creep
Tell me is this too much?
(Am I trying too hard?)
I’d change everything
Would that change anything?
I’ll regret what I’ll say
(Am I trying too hard?)
Being stuck in the dark
Ain’t a walk in the park
Tell me now
(Am I trying too hard?)
