Try Hard Lyrics by Chief State

Tough Love

2020

[Verse 1]
I find it hard to be here when you're around
It's like you never learned to live in the withered skin you're in
You barely tried, wish you would open up your eyes
You've been jaded and negated, didn't even realize

[Pre-Chorus]
That I've been doing better
Since I've been sailing calmer seas
I jumped ship, now I'm at ease

[Chorus]
It's too late to tell me you're okay
I spent night after night waiting for you to call me
It's too bad you got mad and found out
It's a shame you're to blame, but we can't change yesterday
So tomorrow's yours to make

[Verse 2]
I hit rock bottom and I found you there
You were waiting all this time for me to fall so you could bare it
Another night, an alibi is all I am throughout this strife
Take me candid not for granted, I'm sick of you wasting my time

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I've been doing better
I think you know, you're not getting better

[Chorus]
It's too late to tell me you're okay
I spent night after night waiting for you to call me
It's too bad you got mad and found out
It's a shame you're to blame, but we can't change yesterday
So tomorrow's yours to make

[Outro]
(It's too late)
(It's too late)
