The Harder I Try ( Khris TBB)

Lyrics

Intro

Yeah…
Why it feel like everything I do just ain’t enough? (ain’t enough)
All I ever wanted was to love you… (love you)
Oooohhh…

(Verse 1)

Every time I speak, it come out wrong (come out wrong)
Even when my heart got good intentions (good intentions)
Tryna fix us, tryna stay strong (stay strong)
But somehow we keep driftin’ distant (distant)
I buy your favorite flowers just to watch ‘em die (watch ‘em die)
Write you long messages, still get one-word replies (replies)
I swear I’m givin’ every piece of me (every piece)
But your love keep slippin’ out my reach (out my reach)

(Chorus 1)

The harder I try… (try, baby)
The more it feels like I push you away (push you away)
I just wanna show you love… (show you love)
But somehow I keep makin’ mistakes (mistakes)
Tell me what I’m doin’ wrong (what I’m doin’ wrong)
‘Cause my heart can’t take this pain (this pain)
I’m givin’ you all of me… (all of me)
But you keep driftin’ away… (away)

(Verse 2)

Late night talks turn into silence now (silence now)
You don’t even look at me the same (the same)
Used to know exactly how to make you smile (make you smile)
Now I barely recognize your face (your face)
And it kills me slowly every day (every day)
Knowin’ love ain’t supposed to feel this way (this way)
I’m holdin’ tighter while you lettin’ go (lettin’ go)
And I don’t know how to save us anymore (ooooh)

(Chorus 2)

The harder I love… (harder I love)
The colder you seem to become (become)
I keep runnin’ to your heart… (your heart)
While you keep runnin’ from my arms (from my arms)
I’d give you the world tonight (world tonight)
If it could make you stay (make you stay)
But every step I take toward you… (toward you)
Just push you further away… (further away)

(Verse 3)

Maybe I’m too emotional (too emotional)
Maybe I care a little too much (too much)
But if I stop fightin’ for your love (your love)
Then what are we really made of? (made of)
I still remember when you called me home (called me home)
Now even your touch feel unknown (unknown)
And I’m scared one day you’ll leave for good (leave for good)
Before I can love you like I should (like I should)

(Chorus 3)

Why it feel like nothin’ that I do… (nothin’ I do)
Ever gets through to you? (to you)
I’m standin’ here with open arms… (open arms)
Still watchin’ you choose distance (distance)
I don’t wanna lose your love (lose your love)
But I’m losin’ myself tryin’ (tryin’)
And every tear I cry tonight… (cry tonight)
Comes from keepin’ hope alive (hope alive)

(Verse 4)

So tell me if your heart still beats for me (beats for me)
Or if I’m holdin’ onto memories (memories)
‘Cause I can’t keep drownin’ in this fear (this fear)
While pretendin’ everything okay here (okay here)
Still… if you called me right now (right now)
I’d probably come runnin’ back somehow (back somehow)
That’s how deep my love still goes (still goes)
Even when you hurt me the most (ooooh)

(Chorus 4)

The harder I try… (the harder I try)
The more I feel you slippin’ away (slippin’ away)
But I can’t stop lovin’ you… (lovin’ you)
Even when my heart break every day (every day)
I just wanted to give you love… (give you love)
Pure enough to heal your scars (your scars)
But maybe sometimes holdin’ on… (holdin’ on)
Only pushes people far… (far away)

Outro

Oooohhh…
Everything I do feels wrong… (feels wrong)
But my love for you still strong… (still strong)
Even if you keep driftin’ away…
Yeah… away…
