Every time you come around

You always put me down

You're always on my case

That's why I act this way

Cuz livin' day to day

Is hard enough to face



No need to ask me why I feel so down

When your laughin' stops nobody comes around

And that's why I say



[Chorus]

Don't try so hard

You're doing fine

Don't go too far

Don't cross the line

Don't push so hard

Cuz I might break

Just need a chance to get away



Everything in life we know

We gotta learn by the chance we take

If we don't give a damn about it 

We would never try to make our way

Just be true about the way you feel

Cuz when it's right you gotta keep it real

And that's why I say



[Chorus]



[Chorus]



Why do you care

Nobody knows

But when you don't

It shows 

The way that you live

Defines the truth

But the way that you feel 

About your life reflects on you

And that's why I say



[Chorus]



[Chorus]



Don't try so hard

(Don't try so hard)

Don't go too far

(Don't go too far)

Don't try so hard

Don't go too far



That's why I say



[Chorus]
