Why Do I Try

Why do I try, tears in my eyes, sippin on my whiskey

Praying for love, but the good Lord missed me

Heart like a shotgun, shells on the floor

Tired of the same ol’ knock on my door

I’m more than a piece of ass, damn it

More than the curves you can’t quit

I want true love, but it hides from me

Why do I try, knowing it’ll never be

Outlaw soul with a scarred-up shine

Men come round, but they ain’t worth my time

Sweet talk drips like honey from their teeth

But I’m more than the chase, more than relief

Sick of the games, sick of the lies

Sick of the touch that don’t meet my eyes

Lord, I’m tired, just give me a sign

Something that says this heart’s still mine

I’m more than a piece of ass, damn it

More than the curves you can’t quit

I want true love, but it hides from me

Why do I try, knowing it’ll never be

Whiskey burns, but it don’t compare

To the ache in my chest, the empty stare

Why do I try, Lord, why do I care?

Maybe true love just ain’t out there

I’m more than a piece of ass, damn it

More than the curves you can’t quit

I want true love, but it hides from me

Why do I try, knowing it’ll never be
