Why Even Try ft. Sara Quin
Theophilus London Lyrics

Stole my heart like a thief in the night
You took my heart without my knowledge or consent, just like a thief in the night.

Stopped in the tracks in the middle of a fight
I paused in the middle of an argument because I realized I was wrong and wanted to make things right.

To make it right let the brim-stones burn
I am willing to face the consequences of my actions and let things get heated in order to fix our relationship.

I'll let you live yours, now let me have my turn
I respect your decisions and now it's my turn to make mine without any interference from you.

But you wrong thinking you could stop time
You made a mistake thinking that you could prevent change or progress from happening.

A few hours ahead baby girl not mine
I am looking to the future and I know that our paths won't cross, so you need to move on.

I look ahead I know you see the stop signs
I can see ahead and anticipate obstacles and challenges that might come our way.

Blind men know, it's not green all the time
Even people who can't see know that things are not always good or positive.

You driving me insane Mrs. Rain Cloud
Your negative attitude and behavior is making me lose my mind.

Moving on the road, took the same vow
We both made a commitment and are traveling down the same path together.

Now I'm trying to u-turn on the way out
I am trying to change direction and end our relationship.

The fire all around us is played out
Our passion and romance has fizzled out and is no longer burning strong.

Standing all fours on the bed
We are physically intimate and engaged in sexual activity.

Uh, they say some things is better not said
There are certain things that should remain unsaid or kept secret.

I bet you'd rather stick horns on your head
You would probably prefer to have a negative and argumentative attitude rather than be positive and supportive.

If you think you're special, you're probably not
If you have an inflated sense of self-importance, it's likely that you are not as special as you think you are.

Why even try (why even try)
What's the point in making an effort when the outcome is already pre-determined?

Just living a lie (living a lie)
You are pretending to be something you're not and living a life that is not true to yourself.

You've never been like that (never been like that)
You have never shown yourself to be that kind of person or behave that way.

So why even try, why even try to change
Why bother trying to change or be something you're not when you've never been that way before?

Okay okay Miss Rain Cloud
Alright, I understand that you have a negative and pessimistic attitude.

Make the sun shine til the day's out
Try to remain positive and happy until the end of the day.

You're not alone, call my name out
You can count on me and I will be there for you if you need me.

But what if, there's no way out
What if we can't fix our problems or overcome our issues in our relationship?

And no your words are inaudible
I can't understand what you're saying or it's not making any sense to me.

Reception is bad when I'm calling you
There are communication issues between us and we can't seem to connect or understand each other.

Confusion, and it's the thought of you
You are causing me confusion and I can't stop thinking about you or our relationship.

You're no spy, I'm onto you
You are not doing anything secretive or deceitful, but I know what you're up to and what you're thinking.

This letter was written in bitter form
This message was written with anger, resentment, or negativity.

So read carefully, don't get it wrong
Pay close attention to what I'm saying and don't misinterpret or misunderstand my words.

See that's us, but that's gone
This used to be us or our relationship, but it's not like that anymore.

The scarecrows, in the back lawn
There are symbols of fear and warning in our environment or surroundings.

That's another dress, we'll put that on
That's another way or approach we can take to change or improve our relationship.

I keep it real, is that wrong?
I am honest and genuine, even if it's not what you want or expect from me.

Making little sunshine, Till the days out
Trying to stay positive and keep the good vibes going until the end of the day.

Making your sunshine, Till your calling my name out
Making you happy and bringing joy into your life until you need me or call for me.

Never been like that
I have never behaved or acted that way before.

Mrs. Rain Cloud, you're special
You are unique and valuable, even if you have a negative attitude or outlook on life.

Thinkin' you're special (why even try)
You are pretending to be someone you're not and it's pointless to even try to keep up that facade.

Thinkin' you're fun (why even try)
You are trying too hard to be entertaining or enjoyable, when you don't need to.

Why even try (livin' a lie)
There's no reason to make an effort to continue pretending or living a life that is not honest or authentic.

Thinkin' you're special
You think that you are unique or different from others, but in reality you are not.

Thinkin' you're fun
You think that you are amusing, but in reality you are not.

Why even try
There's no point in making an effort to continue pretending or living a life that is not true to yourself.
