You Never Really Tried Lyrics

I watch the ceiling shake and

I hear the steps you take across the hardwood

Dust falling to the floor, heart sinking down as your

Halfway down the staircase

And here comes that feeling in the pit of my stomach, it's too familiar

Knock on the door, then instantly open

How did you figure? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

You say you love me, that I can be myself

But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell

Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?

But you never really tried to know me anyhow

(Maybe you could, Do you think you should?, I wish you would, ooh ooh)

Watching TV with you

Ad for depression, you say "I'm glad you never dealt with that"

If I knew how to talk to you, I'd say it isn't true

But what would you say back? (What would you say to me?)

It shouldn't matter, but I just get madder when you assume like that

Possibly oblivion, maybe you're just living in the past

(Maybe I am too, just as stuck as you)

You say you love me, that I can be myself

But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell

Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?

But you never really tried to know me anyhow

Guess no advice works

Each time you disregard me it hurts

Do you think you're trying your hardest?

Feels like you're pushing us farther and farther apart

You say you love me, that I can be myself

But when you talk your shit, you gotta know that it's a hard sell

Cause I'm just like them, yeah don't you know by now?

But you never really tried to know me anyhow
