Jordyn Averitte - You Can Try

You can Try
You can try to get along with everyone you know
But that's just not how it's supposed to go
You can try
And try
And only achieve in making yourself feel low

You can try
You can try to steal and take
And make yourself feel high with might

You can try
You can try to make yourself feel like a lake
Not evaporating in the sun without a fight

But the truth is
you're ugly
Ruled by your own selfish need

The truth is you can try
But
You might not succeed
