Try
Lulu Antariksa & Keli Price Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever wonder 'bout what he's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try

Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try try
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Where there is desire there if gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't eman you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try

Gotta get up and try, try, try
END
