Try (And Fail) Songtext
von Ben Lerner

I could be nice to you
I can smile at you
Isn′t that what good friends do
Do you wanna know the truth

You're a cause without a rebel
You′re a shell with some potential
Just want positive attention
All the time

Yeah we cut school all the time when we were kids
Never thought you would end up
Like this

Why did it take so long
Just to make mistakes
Baby you were
So afraid
Of disappointing your parents
Of disappointing yourself


Why did it take so long
Just to try and fail
All you did was
tell me tales
Afraid of disappointment
Of disappointing yourself

Ooo ooo ooo
Won't you try and fail
Ooo ooo ooo
Won't you try and fail

I see you in the diner
Ordering the menu
Somewhat of a see-food buyer
Who had a meal at home

Remember all the dreams we had as kids
Never thought you would end up
Like this

Why did it take so long
Just to make mistakes
Baby you were
So afraid
Of disappointing your parents
Of disappointing yourself


Why did it take so long
Just to try and fail
All you did was
tell me tales
Afraid of disappointment
Of disappointing yourself

Ooo ooo ooo
Won′t you try and fail
Ooo ooo ooo
Won′t you try and fail
