Lyrics

When a girl sees me as a possibility
I've gotta see if we could be we
Yeah
And I'm a magnifying glass each time this comes to pass
I find all the things I didn't want to see
Hey!

Sometimes I start the race with too much faith
And when it's time to stay I'm in an awful place
Back to being alone
It's safer here, I know
And two remain
I just won't speak to her again

Feels so good to not try
Makes me feel so fine
I sit and I wonder why I try at all

Feels so good to not try
Makes me feel so fine
I sit and I wonder why I try at all

There's a fine line between effort and apathy
What is it about me that keeps me stuck between (Yeah)
I tell myself that I will learn from my mistakes
I tell myself that there will come a new day
If I tell myself enough it won't be so rough
But I can't tell myself enough

Feels so good to not try
Makes me feel so fine
I sit and I wonder why I try at all

Feels so good to not try
Makes me feel so fine
I sit and I wonder why I try at all

Don't want her to cry
I don't want her to cry
I'm gonna have to look her in the eye
