I fall into bed, a fitful sleep try not to dream 
the hours I keep are bringing me down oooohhh.
 I wake and I eat the same foods I ate yesterday 
trying not to think that you wont be around.
 I don't wanna make a scene
 don't wanna be a drama queen
 Who am I fooling today
 Keeping up face
 Holding everything in place
 But wishing wont make it go away
 ohh noo
 
I jump in my car and drive to work hoping the 
traffic inside my head recedes with the day oh yeah.
 All colours been bleached from my cheeks reflecting 
this sky in indiscernable grey.
 I don't want to let em down
 don't want to wear this thorny crown
 Who am I fooling today
 Keeping up face
 So you can't detect a trace
 
you're trying too hard, (trying too hard)
 you're trying too hard, (trying too hard)
 oh and you know I remember in the back seat of the car
 you and me and if I hadnt said those things that I really meant to say,
 maybe, maybe, yeah maybe you might have stayed.
 
Youve got to wake up to this mess (gotta make up your mind girl)
 No one can save you but yourself ohh
 Trying too hard, yeah trying too hard ohh 
you're trying too hard, trying too hard 
Get out of this place
 Get out of this mess
 Trying too hard, trying too hard
 Pack your suit case
 and your toothbrush
 and your spare pair of shoes
 ohh you're trying too hard
 get out of this place
 get out of this mess
 Trying too hard
 Trying too hard.
