lyrics

I've been trying for trying's sake so long
I'm getting bored of being bored again
I'm so helpless when given the chance
So I thought I'd say sorry in advance

It might be me you're looking for
Then again it might be Paul or George
But I've been looking back all the while
Just hoping to catch your smile

You say that being down
Is so easy, easy as faking a frown

Just a game 'cause everything is going well
It was hard for me to really tell
So I blindly rolled the dice and took a chance
But I still said sorry in advance

So I'm trying for trying's sake again
But winning's only good until it ends
So I'm back at the start with my half a heart
That I left for this very moment

You say that being down
Is so easy, easy as faking a frown
