Trying Too Hard

Well it's hard for kids like us to grow up
Our nostalgia comforts us
The world is so dangerous
Out there
Try our best to care
Then the pressure takes hold of us
The world's puppeteering us

I'm right here
And though you haven't said a word, I can hear
Your problems loud and clear

Hey, can you see straight?
Maybe we need more silver paint.

So be it cold blooded freak
Or a hot headed creep
Scream it loud.

Don't regret what you say
Bring it up anyway
Don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud

Got your sights on the stars
Kid, you're gonna go far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Tell me, is this enough?
Do you think it's too much?
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Well, we all know when push comes to shove
Feel so insignificant
The game is indifferent to all
Eventually you'll fall
But don't give them satisfaction
Of knowing that you hurt at all

I'm right here
And though you haven't said a word, I can hear
Your problems loud and clear

So can you see straight?
I think you need some fuchsia paint!

So let's be cold blooded freaks
And hot headed creeps
Scream it proud!

Don't regret what we say
Bring it up every day
Don't mind us, just get lost in the crowd

Got your sights on the stars
Kid, you're gonna go far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Tell me, is this enough?
Do you think it's too much?
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Some might say this is bizzare
But here I'm thinking that it's been alright so far

Never knew you were there until I looked
I almost missed it with my head shoved up my nook

If we're fools
Or lose
Our cool
And fall
From grace
The future takes the blame

So let him bitch!

(It's not like he'll cut us some slack!)

So be it cold blooded freak
Or a hot headed creep
Scream it proud

Don't regret what you say
Bring it up every day
Don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud

Got our sights on the stars
Kid, you're gonna go far
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Tell me, is this enough?
Do you think it's too much?
Am I trying too hard?
(Am I trying too hard?)

Don't regret what you say
Bring it up everyday
Am I trying too hard?

I'm a cold blooded freak
You're a hot headed creep!
Am I trying too hard?
